Iron has variable valence. It can be either 2 or 3.
What else can I help you with?
Why does a chemical sometimes have a roman numeral after the word?
This indicates the valency of the element... for eg:- iron(II) this means that iron has the valency of two in this particular reaction.... but iron also do have the valency three... To create a difference between the iron of valency two... and iron of valency three.. they write the roman numeral..
What is the valency iron in Fe3o4?
Itron has both 2 and 3 valencies int his compound
What valency is iron on the periodic table?
Iron has two electrons in the outa shell meaning that it has a valency of +2 Lewis is awes!!!
What is the valency of Ferricyanide?
The valency of ferricyanide is -3. It contains one iron (III) cation with a valency of +3 and one cyanide anion with a valency of -1.
How do you find the valency of each element in Fe3O4?
This is an especially complicated valency problem, because Fe3O4 is a combination of Fe2O3 and FeO. As usual, except in peroxides and superoxides, oxygen is assigned a valency of -2. This means that the iron in Fe2O3 has a valency of +3 while the iron in FeO has a valency of +2. (Note that these two oxides of iron also occur separately from each other, as well as in Fe3O4.) Therefore, the average valency of iron in Fe3O4 is 8/3, a rare example of fractional valency made possible only by the fact that iron in this compound actually exists in two integral valence states in the same compound.
How can you explain the formula Fe3O4 if Fe has the valency 2 and 3 only?
The formula Fe3O4 is an empirical formula, and a more nearly structural formula is FeO.Fe2O3, which shows valency 2 in its first part and valency 3 in its second part. Two-thirds of the iron cations have valency 3 and the others valency 2, combined in a single crystal structure.
What is the valency of sulfur in FeS2?
The valency of sulfur in FeS2 is -2. This is because the overall charge of FeS2 is zero, and iron has a positive valency of +2. Therefore, sulfur must have a valency of -2 to balance the charge.
What is the valency of Fe in Fe2O3?
The valency of Fe in Fe2O3 is +3. This is because oxygen typically has a valency of -2 and there are three oxygen atoms present in Fe2O3, making the overall charge -6. To balance the charge, the iron (Fe) atoms must have a valency of +3.
What is valency of iron in Fe3O4?
the valance number of iron is 3 why,becouse in the formula after iron there is 3.the question ask you what is the valency of Fe3O4....
What is the valency of FeCl3?
In iron trichloride the valence of iron is +3 and the valence of chlorine -1.
What is mean by valency?
Variable valencies are the valencies which can change e.g. Fe (iron) can either have the valency of 2 (Fe II) or 3 (Fe III)
When do you use roman numerals in an element?
we usually use roman numerals in writing names of compounds of transitional elements which have more than one valency . for example we have two compounds of iron chloride , iron(II)chloride and iron(III)chloride depending on the valency of iron in each compound.
