Fe = element{ #26 } of Iron and has closet mass to 55.5 at 55.8
..."Iron is a "special" element because of its
nuclear binding energy. The very basic idea is that when you fuse two light elements together, you get a heavier element plus energy.
...You can do this up
to iron. Similarly, if you have a heavy element that undergoes fission and splits into two lighter elements, you also release energy. Down
to iron. You can see this in the plot shown in the wiki article I linked.
....The physical reason for this has to do with the
balance between nuclear forces and the electromagnetic force.".....
