Each chloride ion has a charge of 1−1-1−. Each oxide ion has a charge of 2−2-2−. The table shows the formulae of two iron chlorides.
| Chloride | Formula |
|---|---|
| First iron chloride | FeCl2\text{FeCl}_2FeCl2 |
| Second iron chloride | FeCl3\text{FeCl}_3FeCl3 |
Calculate the charge on the iron ions in each chloride. Then give the formula of an iron oxide containing iron ions with the same charge as in the second iron chloride.
