What is the oxidation state for ferrous chloride?

The name gives the clue. If any chemical is described as '-ous' it has the lower oxidation state. If described as '-ic' , it has the higher oxidation state, Hence Ferrous chloride is 'Iron(II) chloride' ( FeCl2) Ferric chloride is 'Iron(III) chloride' ( FeCl3). Similarly with Nitric Acid and Nitrous Acid ( HNO3/HNO2) Sulphuric acid and Sulphurous Acid (H2SO4/H2SO3)
