    Iron Pyrite Chemical Name: Understanding Iron(II) Disulfide (FeS₂)
    The main chemical name for iron pyrites is Iron(II) disulfide.

    Here's why:

    * Iron(II) indicates that iron has a +2 oxidation state in the compound.

    * Disulfide refers to the presence of two sulfur atoms in the compound, each with a -2 oxidation state.

    Therefore, the chemical formula for iron pyrites is FeS₂.
