A neutral iron atom has 26 electrons. All iron atoms have 26 protons in their nuclei, which is why their atomic atomic number is 26. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge, so a neutral iron atom has 26 protons and 26 electrons.
Mercury (Hg) has 0 d electrons. It belongs to Group 12 in the periodic table and its electron configuration is [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2, so it has fully filled d orbitals.
An Fe atom has a total of 8 electrons in its 3d orbital. Since each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons (for a total of 10 electrons in the d orbital), Fe has 8 electrons in its 3d shell.
The electrons are the part of an atom that forms chemical bonds. They are involved in interactions with electrons from other atoms to form bonds.
protons:40electron:40neutrons: can vary, however, the main isotope has 80

That would be 0. The ground state of every element except for Hydrogen is 1s2 which has no unpaired electrons. (only valence electrons have the ability to be unpaired). Full configuation of Fe would be: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d6 WWWWWWWWWRRRRRRROOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGG!!!!!!!
An atom of yttrium (Y) has an electron configuration of 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p6,4s2,3d1, so it has one unpaired electron in the 'd' orbital.
(a) a sodium atom with 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons (b) a calcium atom with 20 protons, 18 electrons, and 20 neutrons (c) a helium atom with 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 2 neutrons (d) an iron atom with 26 protons, 26 electrons, and 30 neutrons
Chromium is in the d block. It contains 24 protons.
around or outside the nucleus :D

5 unpaired electrons There are 5 unpaired electrons in the Fe3+ ion. The reason for this is that Iron has the electron configuration Ar3d5.

Iron needs to gain 2 electrons to have a full outer shell, since it has an atomic number of 26 and is seeking the stable electron configuration of the closest noble gas, which is argon (with 18 electrons in its outer shell). Iron typically forms +2 or +3 ions to achieve this electron configuration.
