As we have seen in a previous article, 56Fe is among the nuclides with one of the highest binding energy per nucleon (The highest is 62Ni which was not on the chart, see note below) but How was it determined?
First, from this table of nuclides, we found that the stable isotope of iron (Iron/Fe-56) has 26 protons and 30 neutrons.
- So the number of electrons in an Fe3+ ion is 26-3, which is 23.The mass number of iron-57 = 57. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the atomic nuclei of iron-57 atoms.
- The mass number is the number of particles in an atom 's nucleus. Atomic Number: Fe: Element Symbol: Iron: Element Name: 55.85: Average Atomic Mass: To find the number of protons in, first locate the element on the periodic table. Next, find the atomic number.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element having same atomic number (same number of protons) but different mass number. The atomic number of all the isotopes of iron is 26. But their masses are different. Naturally occurring iron (Fe) consists of 4 isotopes: 5.845% of radioactive 54Fe, 91.754% of stable 56Fe, 2.119% of stable 57Fe and 0.282% of stable 58Fe. Of which, 56Fe is the more common because it is the more common endpoint of fusion chains inside extremely massive stars.
The mass of nuclides are measured with among other methods, mass spectroscopy. Mass spectroscopy is based on producing ions of the substance to analyze, accelerate the charged particles inside a magnetic field with a magnet and detect them with a detector, then the analyzer sort the ions by their mass-to-charge ratio. Of course, isotopes have different masses and because of F=ma, were a is constant inside the magnet, they will follow different trajectories.
Fe+2 Mass Number
The most common unit of mass at the nuclear level is not the kilogram, it is the atomic mass unit or dalton Da (u): defined as 1/12 of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon/C-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state.

Expressing atomic mass unit in terms of electronvolts or eV, requires the use of .
The mass of Iron/Fe-56 from the table of nuclides(1):
NOTE: This value if for the whole atom, not just the nucleus, that is, it also includes the electron masses (and less significantly their binding energies). One can use the mass of hydrogen, which thus includes the mass of one electron, instead of the mass of a proton when calculating the binding energy of the nucleus in order to get the correct result.
The mass of a proton:
The mass of a hydrogen atom:
The mass of a neutron:
The mass of an electron (it has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton):
Converting this into energy:
And thus, the binding energy per nucleon:
NOTES:
* If you use the mass of the proton instead, you get which is not the correct value obviously
* The isotope 56Fe is the isotope with the lowest mass per nucleon (M(56Fe) in u/56 = 930.412 MeV/c2), though not the isotope with the highest nuclear binding energy per nucleon, which is nickel-62. However, because of the details of how nucleosynthesis works, 56Fe is a more common endpoint of fusion chains inside extremely massive stars and is therefore more common in the universe, relative to other metals which have a very high binding energy

In chemistry, the formula weight is a quantity computed by multiplying the atomic weight (in atomic mass units) of each element in a chemical formula by the number of atoms of that element present in the formula, then adding all of these products together.
A common request on this site is to convert grams to moles. To complete this calculation, you have to know what substance you are trying to convert. The reason is that the molar mass of the substance affects the conversion. This site explains how to find molar mass.
Finding molar mass starts with units of grams per mole (g/mol). When calculating molecular weight of a chemical compound, it tells us how many grams are in one mole of that substance. The formula weight is simply the weight in atomic mass units of all the atoms in a given formula.
If the formula used in calculating molar mass is the molecular formula, the formula weight computed is the molecular weight. The percentage by weight of any atom or group of atoms in a compound can be computed by dividing the total weight of the atom (or group of atoms) in the formula by the formula weight and multiplying by 100.
Using the chemical formula of the compound and the periodic table of elements, we can add up the atomic weights and calculate molecular weight of the substance.
Formula weights are especially useful in determining the relative weights of reagents and products in a chemical reaction. These relative weights computed from the chemical equation are sometimes called equation weights.
The atomic weights used on this site come from NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology. We use the most common isotopes. This is how to calculate molar mass (average molecular weight), which is based on isotropically weighted averages. This is not the same as molecular mass, which is the mass of a single molecule of well-defined isotopes. For bulk stoichiometric calculations, we are usually determining molar mass, which may also be called standard atomic weight or average atomic mass.
