Iron is a transition element. Iron combines with chlorine to form the compounds FeCl_2 and FeCl_3. (Hint : Oxidation state of chlorine Cl = -1 , Atomic number of Fe = 26) a) Write down the oxidation states of Fe in FeCl_2 and FeCl_3. b) Write the subshell electronic configuration of both of the irons in FeCl_2 and FeCl_3. c) Give reasons for the different oxidation states of Fe.
