An atom of Iron has 26 protons 30 nuetrons and 23 electrons what is its atomic number and mass?

Answer 1

protons 26 electrons 26 neutrons Iron will have 26 electrons 26 protons (they are = because the atom is neutral) and it will have 30 neutrons (because protons + neutrons= your atomic weight)

electrons have virtually no mass

If the iron atom had a +2 charge there would be two less electrons than protons. 26 protons 24 electrons 30 neutrons.

Answer 2

The number of protons in an atom is equivalent to it's atomic number, in this case, 26. The number of neutons is equivalent to the Atomic Mass minus the number of protons, in this case 30 (or just the atomic mass minus the atomic number). The number of electrons in neutral atoms is equivalent to the number of protons.

Answer 3

If, as you have alleged, the atom is electrically neutral, then the number of its

negative charges must be equal to the number of its positive ones. Therefore it

must follow, as the night does the day, that, since there are 26 positive protons in

the atom's nucleus, there must be 26 negative electrons bound to that nucleus,

if neutrality in the electrical sense is to be achieved.

Answer 4

Atomic number (Ar)-26 (Number of protons)

Atomic Mass (Mr)-56 (Number of Protons and Neutrons)

Net charge-3+ Number of protons minus number of electrons)

Answer 5

Atomic number: 26

Atomic mass: 56

Net charge: 3+

Answer 6

Its atomic mass is the amount of protons plus the amount of neturons, therefore it is 56. Electrons are so small their mass is virtually none. Therefore meaning they don't effect the mass.

Answer 7

Charge is +3 As there are 3 more protons than there are electrons.

atomic mass/weight is number of protons + number of neutrons = 56

atomic number is 26.

Answer 8

Iron has an atomic number of 26. The atomic number tells you how many protons an atom has. Therefore, iron has 26 protons.

Answer 9

The stable isotope 56Fe has 30 neutrons, 26 protons, 26 electrons.

Answer 10

26
