Best Answer

The iron(II) ion has +2 charge - Fe2+ The carbonate has -2 charge - CO32- the charge must be balanced so for every one iron(II) ion there should be one carbonate ion. Therefore the formula of Iron(II) Carbonate is: FeCO3

The chemical formula for Iron (II) Carbide is Fe2C. You know this because Iron (II) has a charge of +2, while Carbon (known as carbide in this chemical formula) has a charge of -4. To balance the charges of the two elements and make them equal to a charge of 0, you would need 2 of the Iron (II) atoms in order to balance the charge (Iron (II) being now +4, Carbide being -4).
