Problem

What is the mass number of an iron atom that has 28 neutrons?

Step-by-step solution

Step 1 of 1

Number of neutrons in iron atom = 28


Atomic number of iron = 26
Therefore number of protons = 26
Mass number = number of proton + number of neutron = 26 + 28 = 54
Mass number of iron atom = 54
