What is the oxidation state for ferrous chloride?
The name gives the clue. If any chemical is described as '-ous' it has the lower oxidation state. If described as '-ic' , it has the higher oxidation state, Hence Ferrous chloride is 'Iron(II) chloride' ( FeCl2) Ferric chloride is 'Iron(III) chloride' ( FeCl3). Similarly with Nitric Acid and Nitrous Acid ( HNO3/HNO2) Sulphuric acid and Sulphurous Acid (H2SO4/H2SO3)
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
Oxidation state of Fe in Iron 2 Sulphate?
+2 oxidation state
What is the name of the compound FeCl2?
Iron(III) Chloride / Ferric Chloride / Iron Trichloride
Does chlorine rust fake rings?
No, rust is another term for oxidation, therefore, rust is Iron oxide. Also, Chlorine only reacts with Iron when the Iron is heated, this makes Iron(III) chloride.

What is the oxidation state for 2I-?
The oxidation state of iron in two moles or atoms of elemental iron is zero. If you mean iron (II), the oxidation state is +2.
What does magnesium and iron chloride make?
most likely Magnesium-Chloride(MG?CL?) and Iron(FE?) The numbers depend on the oxidation states of iron and magnesium
Is Iron Sulphide a covalent compound?
Iron sulphide is an ionic compound. The Iron is in a +2 oxidation state and the sulphur is in a -2 oxidation state.
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
Oxidation state of Fe in Iron 2 Sulphate?
+2 oxidation state
What is oxidation state of iron in hemoglobin?
+2
Ferric or ferrous in the body?
Iron can exist in the body as ferrous or ferric, depending on what part of the biological process iron is in. For instance, iron in the plus two-oxidation state is "ferrous". Iron in the plus three-oxidation state is ferric.
What is the name of the compound FeCl2?
Iron(III) Chloride / Ferric Chloride / Iron Trichloride
What is valency of iron in Fe3O4?
the valance number of iron is 3 why,becouse in the formula after iron there is 3.the question ask you what is the valency of Fe3O4....
Does chlorine rust fake rings?
No, rust is another term for oxidation, therefore, rust is Iron oxide. Also, Chlorine only reacts with Iron when the Iron is heated, this makes Iron(III) chloride.
What metal has an oxidation state of -2?
Iron has oxidation state of -2, in the Tetracarbonyl Ferrate ion
