Since ferrous is oxidation state +2 and ferric is +3, it is easier to form the less oxidized +2 compound.

What is the difference between ferrous and ferric iron?
Ferrous ion carries a +2 charge and Ferric carries + 3
Ferric or ferrous in the body?
Iron can exist in the body as ferrous or ferric, depending on what part of the biological process iron is in. For instance, iron in the plus two-oxidation state is "ferrous". Iron in the plus three-oxidation state is ferric.
Which is the ion ferrous or ferric present in your body?
I know ferrous metals are typically iron based. then i googled ion ferrous and kept seeing, Ferric Hydroxide Clusters. Iron is in our blood, hope i helped.
What type of magnetic charge do ferric and ferrous ions contain?
If you mean electric charge the ferric ion has a 3+ charge, the ferrous ion has a 2+ charge.
Is IRON a non-ferrous metal?
No - iron - symbol Fe short for Ferrum - and hence Ferrous and Ferric is a FERROUS metal.
What compound is made for iron sulphur and oxygen?
here can be many compounds containing Iron, Sulfur, and Oxygen : => Ferrous sulfate = FeSO4 => Ferric sulfate = Fe2(SO4)3 => Ferrous Sulfite = FeSO3 => Ferric Sulfite = Fe2(SO3)3 etc.
Is ferrous sulphate acid or base?
Base, because when we react ferric oxide with sulphuric acid , it forms ferrous sulphate and water as in a neutralisation reaction
What is the difference between ferrous and ferric iron?
Ferrous ion carries a +2 charge and Ferric carries + 3
Why Ferrous ion carries a 2 charge and Ferric carries 3?
These are just the definitions of ferrous and ferric as they apply to iron compounds.
Is Ferrous and Ferric diatomic and triatomic?
No. Ferrous and ferric cations are divalent and trivalent respectively, but both are only single atom ions.
Ferric or ferrous in the body?
Iron can exist in the body as ferrous or ferric, depending on what part of the biological process iron is in. For instance, iron in the plus two-oxidation state is "ferrous". Iron in the plus three-oxidation state is ferric.
What is iron named for?
ferrum (ferric, ferrous)
How is rust the result of a chemical reaction?
Iron combines chemically with oxygen to form two forms of rust, ferrous oxide and ferric oxide.
Which is the ion ferrous or ferric present in your body?
I know ferrous metals are typically iron based. then i googled ion ferrous and kept seeing, Ferric Hydroxide Clusters. Iron is in our blood, hope i helped.
What type of magnetic charge do ferric and ferrous ions contain?
If you mean electric charge the ferric ion has a 3+ charge, the ferrous ion has a 2+ charge.
What are ferric metals?
elements which are magnetic in nature....Ferric or ferrous metals contain iron (Fe)
What is the charge on the ferrous ion in ferrous sulphate?
The Ferrous ion has a '2+' charge. Hence the formula for ferrous sulphate is FeSO4. NB The Ferric ion has a '3+' charge. Hence the formula for ferric sulphate is Fe2(SO4)3
