They have different number of electrons.

The most effective way to distinguish them is:-

Fe2+ has a pale green colour and turns violet when added to water.

Fe3+ forms a blood red solution with thiocyanate ions.

Fe2+ has paramagnetic properties.

Fe3+ has diamagnetic properties due to one lone electron.
