Iron atoms make ions of two oxidation states. They are Iron(II) for +2 state and Iron(III) for +3 state. Out of these, the former is more stable at standard conditions.

Why the oxidation number of sulphur is plus 6?

Sulphur has 6 valence electrons. So its maximum oxidation number is +6.


What is the oxidation number of Fe and Cr in FeCr2O7?

The possible oxidation numbers for iron cations are +2 and +3. Oxygen in oxyanions is usually assigned an oxidation number of -2, producing a total negative charge of -14 for the seven oxygen atoms in a dichromate anion. If the iron cation has an oxidation number of +2, the two chromium atoms must have a total oxidation number of +12, which is possible when each chromium atom has an oxidation number of +6. An iron (III) cation would require the chromium atoms to have a non integral charge, which is not possible since electrons with half charges are not known. Therefore, the oxidation number of iron in the compound is +2 and the oxidation number for chromium is +6.


What is the oxidation number of iron in ferrousofericoxide?

I am going to assume you meant ferrous oxide. Ferrous oxide is also known as Iron(II) oxide and has the formula unit FeO. The oxidation number of iron in iron(II) oxide is +2.
