What are the subatomic particles of iron?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

it is an atom. atoms help form the particles.

Answer 3

Iron is an element (Fe) and cannot be further subdivided except through nuclear transmutation. The smallest particle of iron would therefore be a ferrous atom.

Answer 4

atom is the smallest and simplest particle of matter

Answer 5

An atom is the simplest particle of matter

Answer 6

...Iron is an element, Iron is made of Iron atoms. Iron has 26 electrons, 26 protons, and 26 neutrons.

Answer 7

An atom of iron is the smallest particle of the element iron.

Answer 8

Iron has 26 protons, 26 electrons, and typically 30 neutrons in its nucleus. This gives it an atomic number of 26, which is what defines it as the element iron on the Periodic Table.
