Iron can exist in the body as ferrous or ferric, depending on what part of the biological process iron is in. For instance, iron in the plus two-oxidation state is "ferrous". Iron in the plus three-oxidation state is ferric.

Which is the ion ferrous or ferric present in your body?
I know ferrous metals are typically iron based. then i googled ion ferrous and kept seeing, Ferric Hydroxide Clusters. Iron is in our blood, hope i helped.
What is the difference between ferrous and ferric iron?
Ferrous ion carries a +2 charge and Ferric carries + 3
What type of magnetic charge do ferric and ferrous ions contain?
If you mean electric charge the ferric ion has a 3+ charge, the ferrous ion has a 2+ charge.
Is IRON a non-ferrous metal?
No - iron - symbol Fe short for Ferrum - and hence Ferrous and Ferric is a FERROUS metal.
Why the reaction of iron with sulfur produce ferrous sulphide not ferric?
Since ferrous is oxidation state +2 and ferric is +3, it is easier to form the less oxidized +2 compound.

What is the difference between ferrous and ferric iron?
Ferrous ion carries a +2 charge and Ferric carries + 3
Why Ferrous ion carries a 2 charge and Ferric carries 3?
These are just the definitions of ferrous and ferric as they apply to iron compounds.
Is Ferrous and Ferric diatomic and triatomic?
No. Ferrous and ferric cations are divalent and trivalent respectively, but both are only single atom ions.
What is iron named for?
ferrum (ferric, ferrous)
What type of magnetic charge do ferric and ferrous ions contain?
If you mean electric charge the ferric ion has a 3+ charge, the ferrous ion has a 2+ charge.
What are ferric metals?
elements which are magnetic in nature....Ferric or ferrous metals contain iron (Fe)
What is the charge on the ferrous ion in ferrous sulphate?
The Ferrous ion has a '2+' charge. Hence the formula for ferrous sulphate is FeSO4. NB The Ferric ion has a '3+' charge. Hence the formula for ferric sulphate is Fe2(SO4)3
Is IRON a non-ferrous metal?
No - iron - symbol Fe short for Ferrum - and hence Ferrous and Ferric is a FERROUS metal.
How does the difference between ferric and ferrous affect their ability to form ionic compounds?
Because ferric does not haveou
Conversion of Ferric chloride to ferrous chloride?
Dissolving more iron in a solution of ferric chloride yields green ferrous chloride.2 FeCl3 + Fe ----> 3 FeCl2
Why the reaction of iron with sulfur produce ferrous sulphide not ferric?
Since ferrous is oxidation state +2 and ferric is +3, it is easier to form the less oxidized +2 compound.
