    Calculate mass of Fe 56
    I need to Calculate which part of the total mass of atom Fe 56 responsible
    1)Neutron
    2)proton
    3)electron
    I know that in this atom there 26 proton and electron and 30 Neutron
    But how can I know the mass of everyone of them

    May I need to use in this Formula for proton:26*1.672×10-27
    And the same with electron and Neutron (sure everyone of them have his own Formula )

    Thanks :)

    OK so I tried to do like this to Calculate the mass of proton here and I did:26*1.673*10^-27
    and the answer need to be 0.4639
    what I do wrong ?
    thanks.

    You calculated the mass correctly. However, the question didn't ask what was the mass. It asked what fraction of the total mass was contributed by each.
