Hey guys. I'm clearly no physicist, but I do have a question on the subject I thought maybe someone here could help me out with.
So I understand that different combinations of particles, -particularly neutrons-, are essentially the equation that adds up to certain elements. My question being, so let's say you have an atom of Iron, with 77 neutrons. Would each neutron particle within the iron atom identify as being iron? Or is a neutron particle simply a neutron particle regardless of the resulting atom?
And I apologize ahead of time if this makes no sense or is a stupid question.

Wow guys, that's fascinating. I really appreciate both of your answers; extremely helpful. I've always been fascinated by this stuff, but just clearly have no formal education in the subject. Anyways, thanks again.
