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.

What is name of Fe 2 plus?

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.

Is Fe (OH) 2 a ionic compound?

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.


Is an oxidation half-reaction A. Fe2 plus Fe3 plus plus e- B. Fe3 plus plus e- Fe2 plus C. Fe(s) Fe(l) D. Fe plus 2e- Fe2 plus?

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.
