Ferrous amonium sulphate has formula:
(NH4)Fe(SO4)2.6(H20).
Before I explain this question I explain what is oxidation.
oxidation :
Addition of oxygen, removal of electrons and hydrogen is called oxidation and removal of electrons has +ve value.
And you remember that Ferrous means +2 and Ferric means +3.so,option A(+2) is the answer.
Answer: +2
Explanation:
“Ferrous” refers to iron in its +2 oxidation state. (“Ferric” means +3.)
Always remember
Ferrous=+2
Ferric =+3
Similarly.
Hg+=mercurous. Hg++= Mercuric.
Cu+= cuprous. Cu++= cupric.
Pb++=plumbous. Pb++++= plumbic
Sn++= stannous Sn++++= stannic.
Whenever there are two possible oxidation states-lower one ends with —OUS & higher with—-ic.
