The net charge of an iron atom will be +2.
Number of protons = 26
Number of neutrons = 29
Number of electrons = 24
Al the atoms are neutral in their natural state, with balanced number of protons and electrons. Excess electrons state electron richness and represented by (-) sign. Deficiency of electrons is represented by (+) sign.
In the mentioned case, change in neutral state = number of protons - number of electrons
Charge = 26 - 24
Performing subtraction
Charge = 2
Thus, there is deficiency of two electrons in iron (Fe) atom with given specification of number of protons, electrons and neutrons. So, the net charge on iron atom will be +2.
