Answer:30

Step-by-step explanation:

(i dont know if its correct i am in a rush,)

Number of neutrons = 56 – 26 = 30. Thus there are 30 neutrons in a single $F{{e}^{2+}}$ atom. Note: Neutron is generally a subatomic particle which is neutral in charge. Mass of the neutron is slightly greater than the mass of the proton.
