Answer:- $Fe^+^2$

Explanations:- Transition elements shows variable oxidation states. So, while naming these compounds we use the roman numerals to tell their oxidation states.

For example, if someone writes just Iron oxide then it would not be correct since Iron could be in +2 or +3 states. So, it might be $Fe^+^2$ or $Fe^+^3$ . So, the right was is to mention the oxidation state of the transition metal.

If the name is written as Iron(II) in a compound then it means there is +2 charge on iron and it is $Fe^+^2$ .

An element forms an oxide, E₂O₃, and a fluoride, EF₃.(a) Of which two groups might E be a member?

Fittoniya [83]

a) The E might belong to group 13.

As the formula of a chemical compound is derived by the cross multiplication of the valency of the atoms. As formula of the given oxide is and valency of O atom is -2, therefore valency of element E must be +3 in order to obtain E2O3.

Also, in EF3, the valency of E will be +3 because there are three atoms of fluorine who has an individual valency of -1. Thus, e will have the valency of +3.

The Group 13 is the boron group which has the following elements:
