What is observed is is that ammonia acts as a base and precipitates iron(III) solutions as iron(III) hydroxide. Similar problems are encounteerd with iron(II).
The underlying reason is that iron(III) does not bond strongly to N donors. iron(II) also does not bond strongly.
It is possible to make the [Fe(NH3)6] 3+ ion and I suspect that this is made in liquid ammonia, avoiding the probelm of interaction with water. Certainly other iron(II) salts dissolve in liquid ammonia to give ammine complexes although some are quite unstable.

What is the ionic compound for nitrogen and hydrogen?
Nitrogen and hydrogen don't form ionic compounds. they form only covalent compounds as in ammonia (NH3) or hydrazine (H2N-NH2) etc
What compounds does iron form?
There can be many compounds containing Iron, Sulfur, and Oxygen : => Ferrous sulfate = FeSO4 => Ferric sulfate = Fe2(SO4)3 => Ferrous Sulfite = FeSO3 => Ferric Sulfite = Fe2(SO3)3 etc.
Can nitrogen rust things?
No: Rusting occurs by the combination of ferrous metals with oxygen from air or water, and nitrogen can not form the same compounds as oxygen does.
What is the chemical name for Fe Cl3?
The chemical name for FeCl2 is Iron(II) chloride or ferrous chloride. Ferrous chloride is a solid with a high melting point.
What are four similarities between ammonia and methane?
Both ammonia and methane are gases at room temperature. They are both naturally occurring compounds found in the environment. Ammonia and methane form flammable mixtures with air. Both compounds are used as sources of fuel and are important in various industrial processes.
How does the difference between ferric and ferrous affect their ability to form ionic compounds?
Because ferric does not haveou
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.
Is the ferrous or ferric state more soluble?
The ferrous (Fe2+) state is typically more soluble than the ferric (Fe3+) state because Fe2+ ions form more stable complexes with ligands in solution. This increased solubility can make ferrous compounds more bioavailable for biological processes and nutrient uptake.
Which is the ion ferrous or ferric present in your body?
Both ferrous and ferric ions are present in the body. Ferrous ion (Fe2+) is a reduced form of iron found in hemoglobin and myoglobin, while ferric ion (Fe3+) is involved in iron transport and storage, as well as in various enzyme reactions.
Why the reaction of iron with sulfur produce ferrous sulphide not ferric?
Iron reacts with sulfur to form ferrous sulfide (FeS) instead of ferric sulfide (Fe2S3) because iron(II) ions (Fe2+) have a lower oxidation state compared to iron(III) ions (Fe3+). In this reaction, iron gains two electrons to form Fe2+ ions, which then combine with sulfide ions to form ferrous sulfide.
What is the equation when iron reacts with chlorine giving ferric chloride or ferrous chloride?
Ferric or Iron (III) = Fe3+Chloride = Cl-Fe3+ + Cl- = Fe2Cl
What us unique about the way that transition metals form compounds?
They have various oxidation states which allows for differing bonding patterns. Example: FeO --------------Ferrous oxide, or iron II oxide Fe2O3 ------------------------------------Ferric oxide, or iron III oxide
How is rust the result of a chemical reaction?
Iron combines chemically with oxygen to form two forms of rust, ferrous oxide and ferric oxide.
When iron II sulphate reacts with ammonia would it form iron hydroxide or ferrous ammonia sulphate or ammonia iron II sulphate?
When iron II sulphate reacts with ammonia, it forms ferrous ammonia sulphate [Fe(NH3)2(SO4)2]. This compound is a coordination complex in which the iron atom is surrounded by ammonia molecules and sulfate ions.
Does ferr is sulfate have sulfur in it?
I think you mean ferrous sulfate, and yes it does. Its chemical formula is FeSO4.
What is the formula for oxygen and iron?
FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)
What are the products formed on strongly heating ferrous sulphate crystals?
When ferrous sulfate crystals are strongly heated, they decompose to form ferric oxide (Fe2O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and sulfur trioxide (SO3). The reaction involves the break down of ferrous sulfate into its constituent elements under high heat.
