Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the mass number (A) of the Fe^{2+} ion, which is given as 56. The mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Determine the atomic number (Z) of iron (Fe), which is the number of protons. For iron, Z = 26.
Recall that the number of neutrons (N) can be found using the formula: \(N = A - Z\).
Substitute the known values into the formula: \(N = 56 - 26\).
Calculate the difference to find the number of neutrons in the Fe^{2+} ion.
