Dear friend,
Co-ordination number is for complexes only not for other compounds.
I think you got confused between oxidation number & co-ordination number.
● Answer -
OS of Fe in Fe2O3 => +3
OS of Fe in Fe3O4 => +8/3
● Calculation -
Let X be oxidation number of Fe.
In Fe2O3,
2(x) + 3(-2) = 0
2x = 6
x = +3
In Fe3O4,
3(x) + 4(-2) = 0
3x = 8
x = +8/3
Hope this helped you...
