How
many neutrons does an iron atom contain?

The atomic number of iron is 26 and its atomic mass is about 55.8.

The protons are the same numbers as the atomic number, therefore 26, since there is no charge, the electrons are the same as 26, now subtract the protons from the mass:

55.8-26=29.8

Therefore there are 29.8 neutrons

Hope this helps =)
