  • Iron(III) Chloride (FeCl₃): Formula, Properties & Explanation
    The correct chemical formula for Iron (III) chloride is FeCl₃.

    Here's how to break it down:

    * Fe represents the element Iron.

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

    * Cl represents the element Chlorine.

    * indicates that there are three Chlorine ions (Cl⁻) for every one Iron ion.

    This formula ensures that the compound is electrically neutral, as the +3 charge from the Iron ion is balanced by the -3 charge from the three Chloride ions.
