Predicting bonding


Caleb

Recommended Posts

How would you be able to predict how many bonds a substance might have? Ex. If you burn Iron (Fe) in Oxygen (O2), what are the possible compounds? I know for Iron these are possible.

Fe2O3, FeO, and Fe3O4.

 

But how would you predict it if you burned Zirconium (Zr) or Tungsten (W) which have different oxidation numbers?
