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
Is Ferrous chloride and ferric chloride same?
No, they have different formulas and have iron in different oxidation states. Ferrous chloride or Iron II chloride has the Fe2+ ion and the formula FeCl2 Ferric chloride or Iron III chloride has the Fe3+ ion and the formula FeCl3
Formula for ferric phosphate?
The formula for ferric phosphate, also known as iron (III) phosphate, is FePO4.
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 correct name for the Fe plus 3 ion?
Fe3+ is an Iron (III) or ferric ion.
How does a iron atom become a ferric ion?
When iron loses three electrons it becomes ferric (Fe3+) ion
What is molecular formula of ferric oxide?
