Mar 22, 2015 · The electronic configuration of Fe is $\ce { [Ar] 3d^6 4s^2}$. So after removing two electrons the configuration becomes: $\ce { [Ar] 3d^6}$ But why can't the electrons rearrange …

Dec 9, 2015 · I would like to know the differences between Fe3+ and Fe2+ ions. I'm guessing they must differ in reactivity but I'm not sure how. Also, is there a way that we can observed the differences

Aug 27, 2017 · 15 Diiron nonacarbonyl, $\ce { [Fe2 (CO)9]}$, is often depicted with an Fe–Fe bond as shown at the left-hand side: The Fe—Fe bond is usually invoked in order to (1) explain the observed …

Sep 16, 2021 · I need to prepare a solution of Ferrous Iron (Fe2+). This solution will be used to test a water filtration system by simulating the Ferrous Iron that is sometimes present in well water.

Oct 15, 2019 · Why does Fe(III) form octahedral coordination complexes if it has 5 electrons in its d-orbitals? I understand that Fe(II) has 6 electrons in its d-orbitals and 6 lone pairs from 6 ligands as …

Aug 8, 2015 · Iron(II) sulfate (ferrous sulfate) is a salt that, in an aqueous solution, dissolves and yields $\\ce{Fe^{2+}(aq)}$ and $\\ce{SO4^{2-}(aq)}$. It then decomposes to ferric sulfate shortly thereafter. ...

Dec 12, 2024 · I'm taking a chemistry course right now. I've learned about electron configuration and ionization and wondered why iron doesn't "like" ionizing to a 1+ state. When iron goes to …

Dec 12, 2016 · I searched for this onsite already, and also found the following answer on Quora: In aqueous environment, iron(III) is bound by water molecules and exists as $\\ce{[Fe(H2O)6]^3+}$. …

Aug 30, 2015 · But when 2 electrons are to be removed to form the Fe2+ ion, the electrons are not removed from the 3d orbitals. 3d belongs to the 3rd energy level which becomes an inner filled …

Sep 16, 2015 · I think the best answer is not to try to describe this in terms of electron orbitals. The main factor is that Fe (II) is fairly easily oxidized by atmospheric oxygen to give Fe (III). Because we spend …
