Itron has both 2 and 3 valencies int his compound
This is an especially complicated valency problem, because Fe3O4 is a combination of Fe2O3 and FeO. As usual, except in peroxides and superoxides, oxygen is assigned a valency of -2. This means that the iron in Fe2O3 has a valency of +3 while the iron in FeO has a valency of +2. (Note that these two oxides of iron also occur separately from each other, as well as in Fe3O4.) Therefore, the average valency of iron in Fe3O4 is 8/3, a rare example of fractional valency made possible only by the fact that iron in this compound actually exists in two integral valence states in the same compound.
The formula Fe3O4 is an empirical formula, and a more nearly structural formula is FeO.Fe2O3, which shows valency 2 in its first part and valency 3 in its second part. Two-thirds of the iron cations have valency 3 and the others valency 2, combined in a single crystal structure.
Formula of 3 types of Iron oxides: Iron(II) oxide= FeO Iron(III) oxide= Fe2O3 Iron(II,III) oxide= Fe3O4
Lodestone is Fe3O4-also called magnetite.
These compounds are iron oxides as FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4.Rust.

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....
This indicates the valency of the element... for eg:- iron(II) this means that iron has the valency of two in this particular reaction.... but iron also do have the valency three... To create a difference between the iron of valency two... and iron of valency three.. they write the roman numeral..
FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4 Note: Fe3O4 can be considered as a mixture of FeO and Fe2O3

Iron has two electrons in the outa shell meaning that it has a valency of +2 Lewis is awes!!!
Fe3O4 (The numbers are subscripts, meaning they are smaller, and go beside the element.)
Lodestone is Fe3O4-also called magnetite.
is fe3o4 non stoichiometric
Iron has variable valence. It can be either 2 or 3.
This song is made of magnetite iron ore with chemical formula Fe3O4 .
