Iron has 26 protons, and since protons and electrons are usually the same there are 26 electrons in Iron. There is 30 neutrons. So protons=26, electrons=26, neutrons=30.

Fe has variable states of oxidation, most frequently 2+ and 3+. Transition metals can "deposit" electrons in the d-orbitals, and sometimes use those as valence electrons, sometimes not. ... 2 or 3. Ferrous iron has two valence electrons and ferric iron has 3.

In its pure form Iron would be useless. It is very brittle and could not be used to make anything that would have weight on it. It is a silvery type of color, it only looks a grayish color when it is combined with oxygen.

Iron was the most common metal although it was also the most important to many of us. ... It had 4 electron levels, 2 electrons on the inside, 8, and then 14, followed up by 2 more in the last level. That's a total of 26 electrons to keep a neutral charge. Iron, in several large heat accidents melted at 1535 degrees Celsius...

Brief description: iron is a relatively abundant element in the universe. It is found in the sun and many types of stars in considerable quantity. Iron nuclei are very stable. Iron is a vital constituent of plant and animal life, and is the key component of haemoglobin.

The distinct colors of iron compounds are due to the d-electrons, which can interact with light in many interesting ways. Ferrous oxide, as a mineral, is called hematite ("blood-stone") and is usually almost black.

You can also see why they might keep changing their minds about how many valence electrons they have. Iron sometimes gives up just its two 4s electrons, and sometimes throws in a 3d, since those are so close in energy.

For example, an atom with a nuclear charge of +26 has 26 protons in its nucleus and must be iron. To be electrically neutral, an atom of iron must have 26 electrons surrounding the nucleus.
