Ionic
Iron oxide is an ionic compound.
Fe2O3, also known as iron(III) oxide, is an ionic compound. It is composed of iron ions (Fe3+) and oxide ions (O2-), which are held together by ionic bonds formed through the transfer of electrons from iron to oxygen.
Iron oxide is an ionic compound because it is composed of a metal (iron) and a non-metal (oxygen). Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal, resulting in charged ions that are held together by electrostatic attraction.
Ionic. This is the best decription of FeO, iron(II) oxide.
Iron is not a compound, it is a metallic element.
The bond is ionic.
Iron Oxide Its actually Iron(ii) Oxide there is no such thing as iron oxide.
ferrous oxide -or- iron(II) oxide
It is an ionic compound.
Ferrous oxide (FeO) is considered an ionic compound because it is formed by the transfer of electrons between iron (Fe) and oxygen (O) atoms. Iron loses electrons to oxygen, creating Fe2+ cations and O2- anions that are held together by ionic bonds.
FeO is Iron(II)oxide, archaically , Ferrous oxide. Do NOT confuse with Fe2O3, which is Iron(III)oxide ; Archaically Ferric oxide. The 'iron' atom is in different oxidation states for these two compounds. NB 'Fe' is the chemical symbol for 'Iron', and comes from Latin 'Ferrum' for iron.
No. Iron III oxide is an ionic compound. This is due to the large difference in electronegativity between oxygen and iron. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 2.0 a compound is generally ionic. The difference between iron and oxygen is 2.61.
