Chelating is the coordination (binding) of a metal ion by an organic molecule through more than one coordinating bond (for example EDTA binds metals through six bonds in an octahedral pattern). Chelating usually allows a higher solubility of the metal in aqueous solution. Ferrous chelation is the binding of the Iron (II) ion (as opposed to the Iron (III) or ferric ion). Many chelating agents (like EDTA) have different affinities for metals in different oxidation states.

What is the charge on the ferrous ion in ferrous sulphate?
The Ferrous ion has a '2+' charge. Hence the formula for ferrous sulphate is FeSO4. NB The Ferric ion has a '3+' charge. Hence the formula for ferric sulphate is Fe2(SO4)3
What is a ferrous ion level?
Fe2
Why ferric ion is more stable than ferrous ion?
In Ferric ion there are 5 electrons in 'd' orbitals so 'd' is half filled which is stable electronic configuration in Ferrous ion 'd' orbitals have 6 electrons.
What is the name of the compound Fel2?
iron diodide
Why Ferrous ion carries a 2 charge and Ferric carries 3?
These are just the definitions of ferrous and ferric as they apply to iron compounds.

Does ferrous ion act as reducing or oxidizing agent?
ferrous ion act as reducing agent as it will be oxidized into ferric
What is a ferrous ion level?
Fe2
What are the classifications of Iron?
FeO2= is a ferric ion where FeO3- is a ferrous ion.
Which is the ion ferrous or ferric present in your body?
I know ferrous metals are typically iron based. then i googled ion ferrous and kept seeing, Ferric Hydroxide Clusters. Iron is in our blood, hope i helped.
What type of magnetic charge do ferric and ferrous ions contain?
If you mean electric charge the ferric ion has a 3+ charge, the ferrous ion has a 2+ charge.
Why ferric ion is more stable than ferrous ion?
In Ferric ion there are 5 electrons in 'd' orbitals so 'd' is half filled which is stable electronic configuration in Ferrous ion 'd' orbitals have 6 electrons.
What is the difference between ferrous and ferric iron?
Ferrous ion carries a +2 charge and Ferric carries + 3
What is the name of the compound Fel2?
iron diodide
How do you detect ferrous ion?
Use an Iron detector inator
What is the name of the compound Fe2?
ferrous ions and Fe3+ is ferric ion
