Never. iron shows either +2 or +3 oxidation state but in Fe3O4 its oxidation state is seems to +4 but it is actually mixture of one moles FeO and one mole Fe2O3 , (FeO.Fe2O3 = Fe3O4).

Why does iron exhibit only a 2 and 3 oxidation states?

Iron exhibits primarily the +2 and +3 oxidation states due to its electronic configuration. In its +2 state, iron loses two electrons from its 4s orbital to achieve a stable half-filled d orbital. In its +3 state, iron loses three electrons to achieve a full d orbital, which is also a stable configuration. Other oxidation states are less common due to the energy required to remove additional electrons.


What will happpen to iron nails in bleach?

I did an experiment on this in 4th grade. When I put iron nails in bleach, the nails turned a reddish hue at first, then faded to a brown. This is because of oxidation. The bleach stimulates the ions in the iron, causing them to swirl in a circular motion, thus creating the reddish brown color.

Why is tin IV selenide SnSe2?

Tin(IV) has a positive four charge. Selenide usually forms a 2- ion. Ionic compounds need a neutral, balanced charge. With the above information, the rest is pretty much just math. Tin - Sn(+4) Selenide - Se(-2) So you need two of Se to balance the +4 with a -4. = SnSe2 The answer above is OK, however if you are familiar with the idea of oxidation states SnIV is tin in its 4th oxidation state. Selenium has a common oxidation stae of -2 and once again you can do the math. The bonding in SnSe2 is not ionic so using oxidation states is preferable.
