Question

Why is Fe 3+ ion more stable than Fe 2+ ion?

Answer 1

Hello yaar,

Fe3+ ion is more stable due to its half-filled 3d5 electron configuration. As half filled and completely filled shells are more stable Fe3+ ion is more stable. While Fe2+ is not stable.


Hope it helps u..

Answer 2

HELLO FRIENDS ,

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fe 3+ ion more stable than Fe 2+ ion because due to his electronic configuration i.e the electronic configuration of Fe 3+ has half filled last orbital and we know that half or fulled filled orbitals are most stable and here Fe 2+ has not half or  full-filled orbital so Fe 3+ ion more stable than Fe 2+ ion.

Hope it will help u ....
