Answer: 4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as Fe^{3+} cation and oxide O^{2-} is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral Fe_2O_3.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The carbon atoms in graphite and the carbon atoms in Diamond have different
Stolb23 [73]
It's the actual structure of diamond which made the two different. Diamonds have a tetrahedral structure, and as for graphite, it's not structured in that way. The structures of the two is also the reason why diamond is harder than graphite.

A natural charge by an atom is caused by which of the following conditions?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

I'm assuming that you meant to type neutral charge.

Since electrons are negative and protons are positive, having a balanced number of both of these would cause an atom to have a neutral charge.
