It is the iron(II) cation. The Fe atom loses two electrons to become doubly positively charged Fe2+ cation. Some of the compounds it might form are FeSO4 and FeCl2.
If Fe becomes Fe^2+ it has lost 2 electrons, and so the Fe has been OXIDIZED.
(MnO4)2- is the chemical formula of manganate ion.
The half-reaction equation representing the reduction of iron (II) ion (Fe^2+) is: Fe^2+ + 2e^- -> Fe
The correct formula for the iron(II) ion is Fe^2+.
fe+3=..............* .9 =fe+2
the answer is 2, my chemistry proffessor told me so. take it or leave it.
Fe^(2+) its name is the iron cation in oxidation state '2' . When combined, with say a sulphate anion it would be named as 'Ferrous sulphate'. NB Ferric sulphate is iron cation in oxidation state '3'. ( Fe2(SO4)3 ). Note the difference in spelling for different oxidation states.
two elements with ions with a 2 plus charge are Sulfurand Oxygen
Oxidation
All iron ions are: Fe^2+ Fe^3+ Fe^4+ Fe^6+ However, Fe^2+ (ferrous) and Fe^3+ (ferric) are the most common.
Yes, Fe(OH)2 is an ionic compound. It consists of the metal ion iron (Fe) and the polyatomic ion hydroxide (OH-), which is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen. In this compound, the metal donates electrons to the polyatomic ion.
A. Fe^2+ ==> Fe^3+ + e- is an oxidation reactionB. Fe^3+ +e- ==> Fe^2+ is a reduction reactionC. Fe(s) ==> Fe(l) is neither an oxidation nor a reduction reaction. It is a phase change.D. Fe + 2e- ==> Fe^2+ is not a possible reaction.
