Iron ions with 2+ are known as ferrous and with 3+ is called as ferric.
maybe rust
Fe 2+ is Ferrous Fe 3+ is Ferric
two elements with ions with a 2 plus charge are Sulfurand Oxygen
The Iron has a 3+ charge, but the Cl each have a -1 charge so they balance out to an even charge of +/- 0
Sulfides have a minus 2 charge, so the iron in iron sulfide has a charge of +2.
This cation has 24 electrons.
Cations.
Fe 3+andOH -form the ionic compoundFe(OH)3-------------------------ferric hydroxide, or the modern name, iron (III) hydroxide.
Calcium ions (Ca^2+) and phosphate ions (PO4^3-) can combine to form the compound calcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2) through ionic bonding. In this compound, three calcium ions balance out the charge of two phosphate ions to achieve overall electroneutrality.
The compound FeF3 is a salt, meaning that it has a covalent bond. Split the anion and the cation apart to determine the charge. Since iron can be either +2 or +3, you have to look at the anion (F- in this case) and look at how many negative charges are there. If there are three F-, that means there are three negative charges. That should tell you which iron is involved in the bond.
If a neutral atom gains electrons it is called what?
Iron plus chlorine equals Iron chloride is the word equation.
