Ferrous ion carries a +2 charge and Ferric carries + 3
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.
Iron can exist in the body as ferrous or ferric, depending on what part of the biological process iron is in. For instance, iron in the plus two-oxidation state is "ferrous". Iron in the plus three-oxidation state is ferric.
No - iron - symbol Fe short for Ferrum - and hence Ferrous and Ferric is a FERROUS metal.
FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)
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.

ferrum (ferric, ferrous)
Yes. Ferric iron (Fe+3) can be reduced to ferrous iron (Fe+2). Reduction means that the ferric iron gained an electron, resulting in an overall reduction of the charge. Similarly, ferrous iron oxidizes to ferric iron by losing an electron. This is called a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction.On a side note, the reduction of ferric iron to ferrous iron by stomach acid is how we are able to absorb iron from the foods we eat.

Ferrous = Contains Iron Non-Ferrous = Does Not Contain Iron
FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)

These are just the definitions of ferrous and ferric as they apply to iron compounds.
FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)
elements which are magnetic in nature....Ferric or ferrous metals contain iron (Fe)
There are a number of compounds of iron wuth oxygen, iron(I) oxide, ferrous oxide, FeO iron (II,III) oxide ferric ferrous oxide, Fe3O4 iron(III) oxide, ferric oxide, Fe2O3.
