How many neutrons would be present in the nucleus of an atom of iron-56?

I am understanding you to mean an iron-57 ion with a charge of 3+.The atomic number of Fe is 26, which means that all Fe atoms or ions have 26 protons in their nuclei.In a neutral Fe atom, the number of electrons would be the same as the number of protons, which is 26. The charge on the Fe ion is 3+, which means the Fe atom has given up 3 electrons. So the number of electrons in an Fe3+ ion is 26-3, which is 23.The mass number of iron-57 = 57. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the atomic nuclei of iron-57 atoms. We know the number of protons is 26. The number of neutrons = mass number - the number of protons, which is 57-26 = 31 neutrons.To summarize:The number of protons in all Fe atoms is 26.The number of electrons in an any Fe3+ ion is 23.The number of neutrons in an iron-57 atom is 31.


How many electrons does iron III have?

Iron III, or Fe3+, has lost three electrons to become positively charged. Therefore, it has 23 electrons in its neutral state but only 20 electrons in the Fe3+ state.

How many protons does the ion iron have?

iron ion will have the same number of protons as iron atom because while bonding there is loss of electrons only and protons play no role. thus, the number of protons will be same..

How many core electrons does Fe have?

It varies. The number of electrons in an ion is equal to the number of protons minus the charge. Iron has 26 protons and will commonly form two ions: Fe2+ and Fe3+. So the number of electrons in these ions is 24 and 23 respectively.
