In 1961, the Commission recommended Ar(Fe) = 55.847(3) based on the average value oftwo reported mass-spectrometric determinations. In 1993, the Commission changed the recommendedvalue for the standard atomic weight to Ar(Fe) = 55.845(2) based on calibrated mass-spectrometric measurementscarried out on a metallic iron sample of high purity.

Several studies have indicated natural isotope fractionation in iron-containing materials. The magnitude ofthe uncertainty assigned to the atomic-weight value was based mainly on the reported variations of Fe isotopiccomposition; however, subsequent studies now indicate somewhat different ranges. According to the compilation by the Commission, reported δ56Fe values range from−2.9 ‰ with Ar(Fe) = 55.8448 in human blood to +1.36 ‰ withAr(Fe) = 55.8453 in part of a banded iron formation. Here δ56Ferefers to n(56Fe)/n(54Fe) relative to the reference material IRMM-014.
Explaining and how to calculate the relative atomic mass RAM or A r of an element (a) Introduction - defining relative atomic mass - carbon-12 scale. Every atom has its own unique relative atomic mass (RAM) based on a standard comparison or relative scale e.g. It has been based on hydrogen H = 1 amu and oxygen O = 16 amu in the past (amu = relative atomic mass unit).
- ››More information on molar mass and molecular weight. 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.

Iron
Ar(Fe) = 55.845(2) since 1993
The name derives from the Anglo-Saxon iron of unknown origin. The element has been known fromprehistoric times. The symbol Fe is derived from the Latin ferrum for 'firmness'. It is of interestto note that 56Fe requires more energy to be formed than any other nuclide. It is, therefore, the ultimate endproductof stellar nuclear fusion.

Learning Objective
- Determine the relationship between the mass number of an atom, its atomic number, its atomic mass, and its number of subatomic particles
Key Points
Atomic Mass Of Fe
- Neutral atoms of each element contain an equal number of protons and electrons.
- The number of protons determines an element’s atomic number and is used to distinguish one element from another.
- The number of neutrons is variable, resulting in isotopes, which are different forms of the same atom that vary only in the number of neutrons they possess.
- Together, the number of protons and the number of neutrons determine an element’s mass number.
- Since an element’s isotopes have slightly different mass numbers, the atomic mass is calculated by obtaining the mean of the mass numbers for its isotopes.
Atomic Mass Of Iron
Terms
- atomic massThe average mass of an atom, taking into account all its naturally occurring isotopes.
- mass numberThe sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in an atom.
- atomic numberThe number of protons in an atom.
Atomic Number
Neutral atoms of an element contain an equal number of protons and electrons. The number of protons determines an element’s atomic number (Z) and distinguishes one element from another. For example, carbon’s atomic number (Z) is 6 because it has 6 protons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have. The number of neutrons can vary to produce isotopes, which are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. The number of electrons can also be different in atoms of the same element, thus producing ions (charged atoms). For instance, iron, Fe, can exist in its neutral state, or in the +2 and +3 ionic states.
Mass Number
An element’s mass number (A) is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons. The small contribution of mass from electrons is disregarded in calculating the mass number. This approximation of mass can be used to easily calculate how many neutrons an element has by simply subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. Protons and neutrons both weigh about one atomic mass unit or amu. Isotopes of the same element will have the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
Scientists determine the atomic mass by calculating the mean of the mass numbers for its naturally-occurring isotopes. Often, the resulting number contains a decimal. For example, the atomic mass of chlorine (Cl) is 35.45 amu because chlorine is composed of several isotopes, some (the majority) with an atomic mass of 35 amu (17 protons and 18 neutrons) and some with an atomic mass of 37 amu (17 protons and 20 neutrons).
Given an atomic number (Z) and mass number (A), you can find the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a neutral atom. For example, a lithium atom (Z=3, A=7 amu) contains three protons (found from Z), three electrons (as the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons in an atom), and four neutrons (7 – 3 = 4).
