I would choose B: 8/3.
Thank you, Blog Owner!
I choose E FeO*Fe2O3
Like anonymous said Fe3O4 is in fact FEO*Fe2O3 so the oxdation state is 2 from FeO and 3 from Fe2O3
Answer: E
so if its not B, does that mean that it is incorrect to have fractional charges?
The answer is E, you are not allowed to have fractional charges.
ok thx
E seems right on second thought, have to read all the answers
