+2 for Fe, -2 for O
Fe3O4 can be considered to be 1:1 mixture of FeO and Fe2O3. Oxidation number in FeO: +2 for Fe and -2 of O Oxidation number in Fe2O3: +3 for Fe and -2 of O
In FeO the oxidation number of iron is 2+ and the oxidation number of oxygen is 2-.

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
This may best be demonstrated by example: Here are two forms (read: oxidation numbers) of iron, as FeO and Fe2O3. Because we know oxygen has a -2 charge per atom, the oxidation number of Fe in FeO is II. As for Fe2O3, we know that the oxidation number of Fe is III; there is no charge on the compound, so the two iron molecules must equally offset the -6 charge from the three oxygen atoms. Oxidation numbers are written as roman numerals. You would write these two forms of iron oxide as iron(II) oxide and iron(III) oxide, respectively. Oxidation states are the (+) or (-) charges written as a superscript.

+2 O.S. of Fe
-2 for oxygen. The oxidation number of iron depends on the oxide. +2 for Fe in FeO. +3 for Fe in Fe2O3. +2 and +3 for Fe in Fe3O4. (Note: Fe3O4 can be considered as a mixture of FeO and Fe2O3)
It contains only two elements. Fe shows +3 number. Chlorine shows -1 as the oxidation number.
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.
+3 for Fe -2 for S
Fe has an oxidation number of+2 in ferrous salts+3 in ferric saltsAs Br has an oxidation number of -1 in bromide, only two salts of Fe with Br are possible:FeBr2 = ferrous bromideFeBr3 = ferric bromideand FeBr DOES NOT EXIST
The charge of iron in FeO is 2+.Iron has also the charge 3+ in other compounds.
