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

How do you find the number of protons in an atom?

stira [4]

You find the number of protons in an atom by looking at the periodic table.
1) Find your element.
2) Locate The atomic number of your element
3) The Atomic Number is also the number of protons.
Usually, the atomic number is on the on the top of the atomic symbol.
