Question

An ion of iron has an 26 protons 30 neutrons and 23 elctrons,what are it’s atomic number atomic mass and net charge

Answer 1

Protons=26

Electron=23

Neutrons=30

Atomic mass= 26 +30 = 56

Atomic number= 26

Net charge= +26 - 23 = +3 charge

Step-by-step explanation:

protons and neutrons make up the atomic mass.

A standard element has the same amount of protons and electrons which make up the atomic mass. Because the electrons (-) are less than the protons(+) the charge is a positive charge.
