Take any number of any kind of atoms and molecules. Call it your Starting Matter. Have the total charge be neutral. In fact, have all the atoms and molecules start out neutral.
Now, create any kind of molecules you desire. And tear apart the old molecules as you wish. Mix and match. Smash and pound. Use pressure and heat. Although you have to get the heat by chemical reactions using your Starting Matter. Do all the chemistry you want.
And in the end, what you will have, is STILL electrically neutral.
You began with X protons and X electrons -- and no matter what you did, you will end up with X protons and X electrons. Still neutral.
So, why, pray tell, would you need an influx of electrons to release elemental iron from all of its (original) molecular forms????
