Iron 56 nucleus
Nuclear structure of

Iron 56 

(stable).

Blue toruses = 56 protons
Red toruses = 30 nuclear electrons

Atomic number of Fe54 = protons (54) - nuclear electrons (28) = (26)
Atomic number of Fe56 = protons (56) - nuclear electrons (30) = (26)

Central rod core Fe54 = 2T + 12D = 30 protons + 16 nuclear electrons (= Si30 nucleus, stable).                 The ring = 6 He4

Central rod core Fe56 = 4T + 16D = 44 protons + 24 nuclear electrons (= Ca44 nucleus, stable).                 The ring = 6 D

Central rod core Fe56i = 4T + 10D = 32 protons + 18 nuclear electrons (= Si32 nucleus, half life = 153 y). The ring = 6 He4. Isomeric transition.
