The correct statement that describes the bonds in iron sulfate (FeSO4) is:
Fe and S are ionically bonded, while S and O are covalently bonded.
In iron sulfate, the iron (Fe) forms an ionic bond with sulfate (SO4) due to the transfer of electrons, while within the sulfate ion, sulfur (S) is covalently bonded to oxygen (O) atoms.
