the oxidation number is +3.
An example is the ferric ion: Fe(III) or Fe3+.
The oxidation number of monoatomic ions is the same as their ion charge: +2 in Fe(II) for Fe2+, +3 in Fe(III) for Fe3+, -2 in sulfide S2-
The oxidation number is a measure of the charge an atom would have if all its bonds were 100% ionic. It can be positive, negative or zero.
The Mohr salt is more stable to oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+.
The oxidation state of one atom increases while another decreases.

Iron has 2 oxidation states: Fe2+ and Fe3+ .
The oxidation number is a measure of the charge an atom would have if all its bonds were 100% ionic. It can be positive, negative or zero.
The Mohr salt is more stable to oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+.
Iron II is also known as ferrous ions (Fe2+). Ferrous ions, has an oxidation number of +2. The oxidation numbers for the "odd" transition metals that have more than one oxidation number are always the number that is written after the element name (Added:) and it thereby is the charge of it ion. So Fe(III), ferric ion, is Fe3+
The oxidation state of one atom increases while another decreases.
Iron has 2 oxidation states: Fe2+ and Fe3+ .
Iron exists in two oxidation states: Fe2+ and Fe3+. To distinguish between these two oxidation states and to specify which kind of ion will form on dissociation, they are named as Iron II and Iron III. Now, Fe2O3 contains the Fe3+ ion. That is why, it is called iron III oxide.
oxidation number of I is -1. oxidation number of F is +1.
Hydrogen's oxidation number is +1.Chlorin's oxidation number is +1.Oxygen's oxidation number is -2.
The iron ion is usually Fe2+. However, iron has multiple oxidation states. Hence, it is also easy for iron to lose 1 more electron to form Fe3+. Fe2+ ions are further oxidized when it meets an oxidizing agent (e.g. oxygen). Oxygen will remove 1 more electron from the ion to make it Fe3+.
