Iron forms both 2+ and 3+ cations. Write formulas for the oxide, sulfide, and chloride compounds of the 3+ iron cation.

Sagot :

Answer:

Fe2O3,  Fe2S3 and FeCl3

Explanation:

The formular shows the number of atoms of element present in the compound. The number of atoms in turn depends on the charges. The goal is to have a neutral compound with oxidation number of zero.

Oxide:

Iron(Fe) has oxidation number (O.N) of +3, oxygen has O.N of -2. The formular with a balanced (Charge = 0) O.N number is; Fe2O3

Sulphide:

Iron(Fe) has oxidation number (O.N) of +3, sulphur has O.N of -2. The formular with a balanced (Charge = 0) O.N number is; Fe2S3

Chloride:

Iron(Fe) has oxidation number (O.N) of +3, chlorine has O.N of -1. The formular with a balanced (Charge = 0) O.N number is; FeCl3
