As an element itself, iron (Fe) has no charge (neutral). As an ion (when combined with other elements), iron has a positive +2 charge (Iron II or Ferrous) in some compounds and a +3 charge (Iron III or Ferric) in other compounds. In general, metals are positive (see related link below).

Is FeCl2 a covalent bond or a ionic bond?
Fe 2+and2Cl -Make FeCl2An ionic compound.
Is Fe a covalent ionic or metallic bond?
Elemntal iron is a metal with metallic bonding. In its compounds the bonding can be ionic or covalent.
What type of bonding FECL?
FeCl is a metal (Fe) and a nonmetal (Cl), which means that it is a ionic bond.
What type of bond will Fe and S form?
Iron would form ionic bonds with sulfur.
With what elements would beryllium most likely form an ionic bond Na CA Fe Br?
with bromine (Br)

What type of bonding FECL?
FeCl is a metal (Fe) and a nonmetal (Cl), which means that it is a ionic bond.
What type of bond will Fe and S form?
Iron would form ionic bonds with sulfur.
Is a sample of Fe a covalent bond?
First of all Fe is Iron, and a sample of Iron would just be pure Iron thus there wouldn't be any "bonds" Second of all Fe is a metal thus cannot have a covalent bond. If it bonds, it is usually an ionic bond with non-metal i.e. Oxygen to make rust
With what elements would beryllium most likely form an ionic bond Na CA Fe Br?
with bromine (Br)
What type of bond is ferrous sulfate?
Fe 2+andSO4 2-form the ionic bond,Ferrous sulfate, FeSO4, also know as iron II sulfate.
What bond is Sr-O?
ionic
What kind of bond is FeO?
IONIC BOND
What type of bonding occurs in iron 3 chloride?
Iron is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal, so it would be classified as an ionic bond. However, the bond will actually possess some strong polar covalent character, because the electronegativity difference between Fe and Cl is approximately 1.2.
Is Fe(NO3)2 Ionic or molecular?
Fe(NO3)2 is an ionic compound.
