SO4 -----> 2- (negative 2)
Fe = iron SO3 = sulfite Iron (II) sulfite Transition metals always need roman numerals to represent their charges.
Sulfate is a negative ion composed of the nonmetals sulfur and oxygen bus is itself not a metal or a nonmetal. The sulfate ion does not exist as a substance on its own. Its charge must be balanced by a positive ion the identity of that ion is variable.
The potassium ion is K+ and the sulfate ion is SO42-
I think you mean either:- FeSO4 Iron(II) sulfate or ferrous sulfate Fe2(SO4)3 Iron(III) sulfate or ferric sulfate FeSO3 iron(II) sulfite or ferrous sulfite Fe2(SO3)3 iron(III) sulfite or ferric sulfite (I believe this compound is theoretical - the sulfite ion reduces the Fe3+ to Fe2+ )
Iron (II) sulfate is the correct name for this compound. The Fe ion has a charge of 2 and so does the sulfate ion, so there is no subscript after them.
SO42-
Sulfate is a negative ion with the formula SO42- in order to balance the charge there needs to be a positive ion, which usually is a metal ion, but not always. However, the sulfate ion itself is not a metal nor does it contain a metal.
SO4 -----> 2- (negative 2)
What is the charge on the iron ion in FE2(SO4)3
Fe = iron SO3 = sulfite Iron (II) sulfite Transition metals always need roman numerals to represent their charges.
These are the ions and their charges: Fe+2 SO4-2. The charges have to add up to zero, so one +2 iron ion cancels out one -2 sulfate ion. Therefore, the formula is FeSO4
Cesium is a negative ion.
Sulfate is a negative ion composed of the nonmetals sulfur and oxygen bus is itself not a metal or a nonmetal. The sulfate ion does not exist as a substance on its own. Its charge must be balanced by a positive ion the identity of that ion is variable.
The chemical formula for iron(II) sulfate is FeSO4. It consists of the iron cation Fe2+ and the sulfate ion SO42
There are 50 electrons in a sulfate ion. 16 in the sulfur 8 in each of the 4 oxygen 2 for the negative charge so the total electrons are 50
The potassium ion is K+ and the sulfate ion is SO42-
