Answer:
Yes, Iron can show a variable oxidation state of (+2).
Explanation:
1. This is because Iron is part of the transition (or) d-block elements of the periodic table.
2. For example, in FeSO4, the only oxidation state possible for Iron is +2.
3. => x + 6 + 4( -2 ) = 0
=> x + 6 -8 = 0
=> x -2 = 0
=> x = +2
4. Thus, the only oxidation of Iron in the stable molecule of FeSO4 is +2.
