  • Iron(III) Selenide Formula (Fe₂Se₃): Explained
    The chemical formula for iron(III) selenide is Fe₂Se₃.

    Here's how to figure that out:

    * Iron(III) indicates that the iron ion has a +3 charge (Fe³⁺).

    * Selenide refers to the selenium anion, which has a -2 charge (Se²⁻).

    * To balance the charges, we need two iron ions (2 x +3 = +6) and three selenium ions (3 x -2 = -6).

    Therefore, the formula is Fe₂Se₃.
