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 FeCr2O7?
In ferrous dichromate;Fe takes +IICr takes +VIO takes -II
What is the oxidation number of Fe in K3Fe CN6?
a)3 b)2 c)1 d)4 Fe is the transitional metal K3[Fe(CN)6] , we know that Potassium, K, has an oxidation number of +1 The oxidation number of CN= -1, so 6*CN has an oxidation number of -6 so therefore Fe - 6 = -3 Fe = -3 + 6 = +3 The oxidation number of Fe is +3. so A
What is the oxidation number for Fe in FeBr2?

What is the oxidation number to each element FeCl3?
It contains only two elements. Fe shows +3 number. Chlorine shows -1 as the oxidation number.
What is the Oxidation state of Fe in FeCl3?
oxidation state of Fe in FeCl3 is +3. Cl has oxidation number -1 in this case Fe share 3 electrons with Cl so its oxidation state is +3.
