Según sean sus valencias, el hierro da dos familias de compuestos : compuestos ferrosos [...] si el hierro es bivalente; compuestos férricos [...] si es trivalente. El óxido férrico o sesquióxido constituye el colcótar. El óxido ferroso o protóxido FeO se obtiene por reducción del anterior. 6, record 1, Spanish, - %C3%B3xido%20ferroso
