An atom of iron would have pretty much the same subatomic particles as most other atoms - protons, electrons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are made up of more fundamental particles, quarks. The defining factor that makes it iron is that it would have 26 protons; in a neutral iron atom that would mean it would have 26 electrons. Different isotopes of iron might have differing numbers of neutrons, about 92% of iron is Fe-56 which has 30 neutrons.
