Explanation / Answer

6)Fe2O3 let oxidation charge of iron is x'.

Hence the net charge is zero

Hence 2(x) + 3(-2)=0

2x-6=0

2x=6

X=3

Hence oxidation charge of Fe is +3.

7) "Al" replace Fe and forms as Al2O3.mineral is corundum

8) Magnetite formula is Fe3O4

Fe be 'x'

3x+4(-2)=0

3x-8=0

3x=8

x=8/3

This a fermentation state where the ions can be replaced.

9) the net charge or anionic in carbonate CO3 compound is "-2".

The no. Of electrons will be two more electrons (32) than the protons (30). It is a poliatomic ion with 1 carbon atom and 3 oxygen atoms.

11) SiO4 with charge -4.

The four oxygen atoms combine with the single electron of a silicon atom in a covalent bond leaving one electron.Hence there will be 4 anions.So 4 negative charged ions remains leaving SiO4 with -4.

13) Si2O7 is the formula with -6 charge.One of the corner oxygen shares with the tetrahedron.
