You don't without having additional information. If you were given this compound Fe2O3, you would first recognize that oxygen most likely has a 2 minus charge associated with it, since there are three oxygens, that would be a total of 6 minus. The irons must neutralize that 6 minus by having a total of 6 plus. Since there are two irons each one must have a 3 plus charge associated with it.

What is the definition of net atomic charge?

The net charge is the charge that there is more of in an object. For example, if an object has 5 electrons (negative charges) and 4 protons (positive charges), then the net charge is negative because there are more electrons in the object. If the object gains 2 protons through the transfer of electric charge then the net charge becomes positive. However, if the object loses 1 proton to have an equal amount of both protons and electrons, then the net charge becomes nuetral.


What is the ratio of Fe3 plus ions to O2- ions in a neutral compound?

In a neutral compound, the ratio of Fe³⁺ ions to O²⁻ ions is 2:3. This is because Fe³⁺ has a +3 charge, while O²⁻ has a -2 charge. To balance the charges, two Fe³⁺ ions contribute a total charge of +6, which is balanced by three O²⁻ ions contributing a total charge of -6. Thus, the formula of the neutral compound would be Fe₂O₃.
