Iron oxide has most often has 2 atoms of iron per molecule.
There are two forms of iron oxide, FeO (which has one iron atom) and Fe2O3.
Iron can take on a valence of II or III. Confusing. There are actually addition formulas for other iron oxides, too, including magnetite (Fe3O4).
The most common form is the Fe2O3 structure, which is the familiar iron rust.

How many iron atoms are in one molecule of iron oxide?
2
How many atoms atoms in FeO2?
A molecule of Fe2O3 contain 5 atoms; two molecules contain 10 atoms.
How many atoms make up one molecule of iron oxide Fe2 03?
Well, iron oxide is a combination of iron(Fe) and oxygen (O). We know Fe(III) has a charge of +3 and oxygen has a charge of -2, so we must balance them. Their LCF is 6, so to balance them, we must have 2 atoms of iron (3x2=6) and 3 atoms of oxygen (-2x3=-6). Therefore we know that there are 2+3 atoms in this molecule, so 6 atoms in the molecule.
What elements are found in iron oxide atoms?
"Atoms" of the compound iron oxide do not exist, but the compound contains iron and oxygen atoms, both in the form of ions.
Is iron oxide a organic molecule?
Iron oxides are inorganiccompounds.
Each molecule of iron oxide fe2o3 contains how many atoms of iron?
There are two atoms of iron and three atoms of oxygen in the compound Fe2O3. The mass percent of iron is 69.943%
How many iron atoms are in one molecule of iron oxide?

The formula for iron oxide atype of rust is 2Fe03. How many atoms of iron in a molecule of iron oxide a.1 b.2?
a. 1 iron atom per molecule. in total, two atoms
What is in each molecule of iron oxide contains atom of iron?
yes
Is rust made of atoms or molecules?
Rust (Iron-III oxide) is an ionic compound formed from iron atoms and oxygen atoms. We don't refer to an ionic solid as being a molecule, though, we represent the solid by its smallest building block. In this case, we represent iron (III) oxide as Fe2O3.
How much does each molecule of iron oxide contain?
The oxide Fe2O3 has: 70 % iron and 30 % oxygen.
How many atoms atoms in FeO2?
A molecule of Fe2O3 contain 5 atoms; two molecules contain 10 atoms.
Each molecule of iron oxide Fe2O3 contains?
physical mixture

"Atoms" of the compound iron oxide do not exist, but the compound contains iron and oxygen atoms, both in the form of ions.
When oxygen was first released it was combined with iron to form?
When two oxygen atoms react together they form an oxygen molecule (O2).
Would one particle of iron oxide be considered a molecule or an atom?
Since iron oxide is made from TWO elements (Fe, and O), it is a compounds and so you have a MOLECULE, not an atom of iron oxide.
