Is Iron II a cation or anion?
| Name | Formula | Other name(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Chromium(III) | Cr+3 | Chromic |
| Copper(I) | Cu+ | Cuprous |
| Copper(II) | Cu+2 | Cupric |
| Iron(II) | Fe+2 | Ferrous |
Which is smaller Fe2+ or Fe3+?
Fe2+ is greater in size than Fe3+. Consider the electronic configuration of Fe2+[Ar] 3d6 and Fe3+ [Ar]3d5 (For comparison, Fe [Ar] 4s2 3d6). Fe3+ ionic radius is 63 pm, while Fe2+ has an ionic radius of 77 pm. (For comparison, the Fe atom has a radius of 140 pm.)
Why can iron form two ions?
As an example, iron commonly forms two different ions. It can sometimes lose two electrons to form the Fe2+ ion, while at other times it loses three electrons to form the Fe3+ ion.
What’s the difference between iron II and iron III?
There is no difference, in both the examples you cite. The forms Iron(II) and Iron(III) are preferred today, versus the older forms ferric and ferrous, respectively, because they more explicitly give the oxidation states of Fe, +2 and +3 in this example. The difference in usage is simply a choice.
Can iron reacts with water?
Iron reacts with water (steam) to form ferric oxide liberating hydrogen gas.
Is FeSO4 soluble or insoluble in water?
Is FeSO4 ( Iron(II) sulfate ) Soluble or Insoluble in water ?
| Soluble List | |
|---|---|
| FeCl2 ( Iron dichloride ) | Soluble |
| FeCl3 ( Iron(III) chloride ) | Soluble |
| FeSO4 ( Iron(II) sulfate ) | Soluble |
| H2SO3 ( Sulfurous acid ) | Soluble |
Is Iron an ion?
Thus, Fe2+ is called the iron(II) ion, while Fe3+ is called the iron(III) ion. This system is used only for elements that form more than one common positive ion….Naming Ions.
| Ion | Name |

| N3− | nitride ion |
Is too much iron bad?
Yes, iron can be harmful if you get too much. In healthy people, taking high doses of iron supplements (especially on an empty stomach) can cause an upset stomach, constipation, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, and fainting. High doses of iron can also decrease zinc absorption.
