ur answer



Fe3O4 contains Fe atoms of both +2 and +3 oxidation number. It is a stoichiometric mixture of Ferrous (FeO) and Ferric (Fe2O3) oxides ...

Answer 2

For Fe3O4, two Fe atoms have an oxidation state of +3 and one of +2, which makes the total oxidation state of Fe= 8/3. Instead of averaging the oxidation states, we must keep them separated. This is called fragmenting, which occurs if there is an ionic compound, and the ions can be separated.
