Each iron atom loses three electrons.
The iron atom loses two(2) electrons to be come the Iron ION. Fe = Fe^(2+) + 2e^- NB An atom , when it becomes a charged spacied , is no longer an atom , but an ION. Positively charged ions are CATIONS Negatively charged ions are ANIONS.
A neutral iron atom has 26 electrons. All iron atoms have 26 protons in their nuclei, which is why their atomic atomic number is 26. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge, so a neutral iron atom has 26 protons and 26 electrons.
Atoms can lose or gain electrons. When they do, they form charged particles called ions: if an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, I think ;]
The electron configuration for this atom is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d64s2. There are 6 d electrons.
In that reaction, each iron atom loses three electrons.
Each iron atom loses three electrons.
When iron loses three electrons it becomes ferric (Fe3+) ion
