An atom of iron is …. Times as heavy as atom of hydrogen.
Explanation:
- An iron atom's approximate atomic weight is 56 unified atomic mass units (u).
- A hydrogen atom's approximate atomic weight is 1 unified atomic mass unit (u).
- Iron is approximately 56 times heavier than hydrogen.
- Comparing atomic weights:
- Option 1: 23 times is incorrect for iron vs. hydrogen.
- Option 2: 1638 times is significantly excessive.
- Option 3: 55 times is very close to the correct ratio.
- Option 4: 238 times is much higher than the actual difference.
Correct Answer: Option 3 - 55
