What is the oxidation state of iron in Iron chloride?

There are two Iron chlorides. Iron(II) chloride, in which iron is in +2 oxidation state, and Iron(III) chloride, in which iron is in +3 oxidation state.


Why is Fe2O3 named iron III oxide?

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.


What is the name for fe3N2?

The chemical name for Fe3N2 is iron(II,III) nitride, which indicates that the compound contains both iron in +2 and +3 oxidation states.


Oxidation state of Fe in Iron 2 Sulphate?

The oxidation state of Fe in iron (II) sulfate is +2. Iron (II) sulfate is written as FeSO4, where the iron atom has lost two electrons, resulting in a +2 oxidation state.


How are oxidation states of transition metals indicate in the names of metal compounds?

Preferably in modern nomenclature, by capital "Roman numerals" within parentheses immediately following the name of a transition metal element cation in a chemical compound. For transition metal elements that have only two common cationic oxidation states, the oxidation states can alternatively be indicated by the suffix "ic" for the more positive oxidation state and "ous" for the less positive ones. Examples are "ferric" for "iron (III)" and "ferrous" for "iron (II)". If the transition metal is in an anion, the most common indication is with suffixes and prefixes, but the appended oxidation state in parentheses can also be used. Details may be different for different transition metals and should be sought in an authoritative reference source.

When does iron show the 4th oxidation state?

Never. iron shows either +2 or +3 oxidation state but in Fe3O4 its oxidation state is seems to +4 but it is actually mixture of one moles FeO and one mole Fe2O3 , (FeO.Fe2O3 = Fe3O4).
