Iron will form a cation. Depending on how many electrons it lose, it could be Fe2+ or Fe3+. There is more than one transition state.

What is invovled in redox reactions?

A transfer of electrons between two distinct chemical entities. One of the simplest examples is a single displacement, for example, elemental iron atoms transfer electrons to silver cations, changing the silver cations to elemental silver and the iron atoms to cations.


Is iron 3 ion a cation?

Iron is a metal, and is made of iron atoms. When it reacts to form a compound the iron atoms will lose electrons and become cations, either Fe2+ or Fe3+. All metals form cations when they form ionic compounds.

What Cations bonded together by mobile electrons examples?

An example of cations bonded together by mobile electrons is metallic bonding. In metallic bonding, metal cations are surrounded by a "sea" of delocalized electrons that move freely throughout the structure, holding the cations together in a lattice. This is commonly seen in metals such as copper, iron, and aluminum.


What will happen when you add iron fillings to a solution of mercuric nitrate?

Drops of liquid metallic mercury will form and drop to the bottom of the solution: Iron is higher in the electromotive series than mercury and will therefore displace mercury from compounds of mercury, the iron being changed to cations that replace as many of the mercury cations in the solution as is stoichiometrically possible, based on the amount of iron added to the solution and the amount of mercuric nitrate originally present.


What is the difference between ferric sulfate and ferrous sulfate?

Ferric sulfate contains trivalent iron cations and ferrous sulfate contains divalent iron cations. As a consequence of this, they have different ratios of iron to sulfur or oxygen and other different properties.
