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
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 valency of ferrous and ferric ion?
Whether iron is in the ferrous or ferric state depends on the ionic charge of the iron cation, which can either exist in the +2 or +3 oxidation state. Iron is a metal and will therefore take a positive charge. Iron happens to be, more specifically, a transition metal so it can form multiple positive ions. The -ous ending means it is in the lower oxidation state (+2) and the -ic ending means it is in the higher oxidation state (+3).
Net charge of iron?
It depends on the atoms. If an atom is trying to gain an electron to form an octet then the charge will be negative. If the atom is trying to lose an electron to form an octet then the charge will be positive. Ferrous ion is Fe2+ and ferric ion is Fe3+.
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
What is the difference between ferrous and ferric iron?
Ferrous ion carries a +2 charge and Ferric carries + 3
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.
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 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.
Does ferrous ion act as reducing or oxidizing agent?
ferrous ion act as reducing agent as it will be oxidized into ferric
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 Fe2?
ferrous ions and Fe3+ is ferric ion
