Answer 2

or anyone really....I'm just confused by the change in charge.

Answer 3

Protons+Neutrons = 56
The atomic number is the number of protons is 26
There are 24 electrons 24.
Neutrons: 56-26 = 30

Answer 4

you mean 23 electrons? (-26+3)

Answer 5

Answer 7

is that a 3 or a 2?

Answer 8

it says Fe+3

Answer 9

It looked like a 2 -.-

Answer 10
