Respuesta :

Fe2O3 because O has a -2 charge and Fe and +3, you want the charges to equal each other so if you have 2 Fe with +3 charge the charge becomes 6 if you have 3 O with -2 charge the charge becomes 6.

Answer : The correct option is, [tex]Fe_2O_3[/tex]

Explanation :

Formula unit of a compound is defined as the minimum number ratio of ions represented in the compound.

The valency of iron is (+3) and the valency of oxygen is (-2). By the criss-cross method the [tex]Fe^{+3}[/tex] cation combine with the [tex]O^{2-}[/tex] anion, it will give [tex]Fe_2O_3[/tex].

[tex]Fe^{+3}+O^{2-}\rightarrow Fe_2O_3[/tex]

The formula by criss-cross method is shown below.
