It is the ferric ion, Fe3+.
What example of an ion and atom that are isoelectric?

How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
When an atom loses a negative charge, when it loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion.
What is a positive and negative ion?
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
What is the correct name for the Fe plus 3 ion?
Fe3+ is an Iron (III) or ferric ion.
What are the classifications of Iron?
FeO2= is a ferric ion where FeO3- is a ferrous ion.
What is the Formula for Ferric ion?
Iron has 2 oxidation states: Fe2+ and Fe3+ .
What are iron atom loses two electrons the name of the iron ion called?
2 electrons = ferrous or iron(II) or Fe+23 electrons = ferric or iron(III) or Fe+3
What happened to the iron atom when chemical reaction occurred and an iron atom become the ion Fe?
Two or three electrons are lost.
Net charge of iron?
It depends on the atoms. If an atom is trying to gain an electron to form an octet then the charge will be negative. If the atom is trying to lose an electron to form an octet then the charge will be positive. Ferrous ion is Fe2+ and ferric ion is Fe3+.
Which ion of iron is present in the formula Fe2O3?
It is the ferric ion, Fe3+.
What is the difference between ferrous and ferric iron?

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.
Is Ferrous chloride and ferric chloride same?
No, they have different formulas and have iron in different oxidation states. Ferrous chloride or Iron II chloride has the Fe2+ ion and the formula FeCl2 Ferric chloride or Iron III chloride has the Fe3+ ion and the formula FeCl3
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.
