What is 'iron59' when rendered into an English name?

"Felix" is the English name that comes from "iron59." Fe represents the symbol for iron while LIX serves as the number "59" in Roman numerals. The pronunciation will be "FEE-liks" in the Mid-Atlantic pronunciation patterns of United States English.


Atoms in Fe?

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


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


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.


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


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.


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.


How is that an element can have many forms if the protons never change?

Different number of neutrons result in different isotopes:Hydrogen - 1 proton, no neutronsDeuterium - 1 proton, 1 neutronTritium - 1 proton, 2 neutrons (radioactive)Different oxidation states by exchanging electrons between higher energy "hidden" orbitals and valence orbitals:Ferrous - Iron with 2 electrons in valence orbitalsFerric - Iron with 3 electrons in valence orbitals
