Iron-55 and iron-59 are used to study the way in which red blood cells develop in the body. These studies can be used to tell if a person's blood is healthy.

Atoms in Fe?

Iron atoms. Fe is the symbol for iron on the table of elements.


Why is an iron atom a different element than a sodium atom?

An iron atom is a different element than a sodium atom because it has a different ground state electron configuration. In fact, any atom that differs from any other atom in ground state electron configuration is a different element.


Are iron and sulfur different?

Yes, iron and sulfur are different elements. Iron is a metal with the symbol Fe and atomic number 26, while sulfur is a non-metal with the symbol S and atomic number 16. They have different physical and chemical properties.


How are iron cobalt and nickel different?

The different forms of an element are called isotopes. Each isotope has the same number of protons in its nucleus, but differing numbers of neutrons. This difference causes an instability in the nucleus and leads to some of them breaking down into other elements and emitting radiation (called radioactive decay). Cobalt has only one natural isotope, 50Co, which is completely stable. All others are produced by neutron bombardment in a reactor. These others are very radioactive and are used as gamma ray sources in quite a few industries and systems.


Name any two different kinds of iron ore?

Two different kinds of iron ore are hematite and magnetite. Hematite has a higher iron content and is typically reddish-brown in color, while magnetite is black and has magnetic properties. Both are important sources of iron for iron and steel production.

Can Isotopes resonante in iron?

There are several isotopes of iron, the most frequent is Fe56 (92 percent). Suggest you look up Wikipedia for Iron. I do not understand your use of word 'resonante'. If you mean 'resonate' I still don't understand what your query really is.


Are iron elements stable?

Iron is an element, and there is only one element called iron (Fe). There are no iron element(s), but if you mean isotopes, then some iron isotopes are stable, and some aren't. No known element is stable in of it's isotopes.


Does iron have any important isotopes?

Differences between uranium isotopes: natural isotopes (U-234, U-235, U-238) and the artificial isotopes; differences in atomic mass; differences in the number of neutrons; differences of the half life; differences in the emitted radiations (type, energy, percentage); differences in the decay chain; differences in the technological importance; etc.


How many isotopes are in iron?

No there are 7


What is the most prevalent isotope in an iron sample?

The most prevalent isotope in an iron sample is iron-56 (Fe-56). It accounts for about 91.7% of naturally occurring iron isotopes. Fe-56 is stable and is commonly found in various iron-containing materials. Other isotopes, such as Fe-54, Fe-57, and Fe-58, are present in much smaller amounts.


All isotopes of the element iron contain?

26 protons in their nucleus, which defines them as iron. They may have varying numbers of neutrons, leading to isotopes such as iron-56, iron-57, and iron-58.


Are the atoms in a piece of iron exactly like those in a piece of tin?

Iron has four natural isotopes; isotopes are not identical.


How many protons does iron 55.847 have?

Iron has 26 protons.Iron 55.847 is not an element. Iron exists in the form of the following isotopes: 56Fe, 54Fe, 57Fe and 58Fe. Iron 55.847 refers to the average atomic mass of these isotopes, weighted together according to their relative abundance on earth. 56Fe accounts for approx 92% of the total.


Is the density of an iron nail different thanthat of an iron gate?

if they are both made of iron and no other impurities the density is the same


What are allotropes Give an example How are allotropes different from isotopes?

Allotropes are the different forms of a compound. For example iron has 3 well known allotropes: alpha iron (α) a.k.a. ferrite, gamma iron (γ) a.k.a. austenite, and delta iron (δ). They form depending on temperature and pressure the iron goes to. Another example is diamond and graphite which are both allotropes of carbon.
