Answer #1

An iron atom with a charge of +3 and an atomic weight of 53 has 26 protons, 27 neutrons, and 23 electrons.

Iron has atomic number 26 and weight 53 which indicates that it has 26 protons, 26 electrons and 27 neutron.

Atomic no. = no. of protons

Atomic weight = sum of protons and neutrons

No. of electrons = no. of protons in a neural atom.

Here iron atom has +3 charge, it means it has lost 3 electrons (26-3 = 23).
