Step 1
Determine the oxidation states of the elements in Fe2O3. - Oxygen (O) typically has an oxidation state of -2. - Since Fe2O3 is a neutral compound, the sum of the oxidation states must be zero. - Let's assume the oxidation state of Fe is x. - The equation becomes: Show more…

The percent ionic character of a bond between elements A and B may be approximated by the expression %IN = 100[1 - e^(-1/4(XA - XB))], where XA and XB are the electronegativities for the respective elements. What is the percent ionic character of the interatomic bonds for Fe2O3? What type of bonding would you expect in Fe2O3? Note: Use 1.8 for the electronegativity for Fe and 3.5 for the electronegativity for O.
