As an element itself, iron (Fe) has no charge (neutral). As an ion (when combined with other elements), iron has a positive +2 charge (Iron II or Ferrous) in some compounds and a +3 charge (Iron III or Ferric) in other compounds. In general, metals are positive (see related link below).
First determine if it gains or looses an electron if it gains then its negative if it looses then its positive
Iron, Fe, the element, is a metal with metallic bonds, iron can form ionic bonds containing Fe2+, Fe3+
S2
Positive.
Fe 2+and2Cl -Make FeCl2An ionic compound.
Elemntal iron is a metal with metallic bonding. In its compounds the bonding can be ionic or covalent.
FeCl is a metal (Fe) and a nonmetal (Cl), which means that it is a ionic bond.
Iron would form ionic bonds with sulfur.
with bromine (Br)

FeCl3 Ionic Fe(3+) and three Cl(-)
Elemntal iron is a metal with metallic bonding. In its compounds the bonding can be ionic or covalent.
FeCl is a metal (Fe) and a nonmetal (Cl), which means that it is a ionic bond.
Iron would form ionic bonds with sulfur.
First of all Fe is Iron, and a sample of Iron would just be pure Iron thus there wouldn't be any "bonds" Second of all Fe is a metal thus cannot have a covalent bond. If it bonds, it is usually an ionic bond with non-metal i.e. Oxygen to make rust
with bromine (Br)
Fe 2+andSO4 2-form the ionic bond,Ferrous sulfate, FeSO4, also know as iron II sulfate.

IONIC BOND
Iron is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal, so it would be classified as an ionic bond. However, the bond will actually possess some strong polar covalent character, because the electronegativity difference between Fe and Cl is approximately 1.2.
Fe(NO3)2 is an ionic compound.
