Hello,
I think this is Ferric ... Iron has a symbol of Fe right? I am not so sure but if IONIC is to ion then Ferric is to something that has iron.
IRONIC on the other hand means it is "opposite".
I think, hope this helps.

If you draw that analogy, then Panic should be related to Pan, Tonic to ton, topic to top etc. No nouns are not always related to their corresponding adjectives that way. For, Ironic, the noun is irony, while for the noun iron, the adjective is ferrous or ferric.

The "irony" of "iron" in "ions" is that it is going thru a "transition" (element) with a Group of 8(B) on its 4th Period, and it can be either Fe2+ or Fe3+, but no Fe1+ nor Fe4+
I hope this helps!

Nope.
As IONIC ------------- ION
FERROUS / FERRIC --------------- IRON
NOT ironic
This is because when you are making adjective form of a noun you do not always add the suffix -ic.
Since in greek iron was called ferrum , the word is ferric( for Fe+3) or ferrous( for Fe+2).

"Iron" came from Anglo-Saxon.
"Irony" came from Greek.
Nothing but a coincidental relationship. Sorry to disappoint.
