Iron oxide is a compound. There are a number of different oxides of iron
FeO, Fe2O3 and Fe3O4
Oxides are chemical compounds.
Compound
Actually there are several iron oxides, iron(II)oxide, iron(III)oxide and iron(II,III)oxide, and iron(III)oxide comes in four so-called 'phases'.All of these are compounds of iron with oxygen.
Rust is not an element. Rust is a compound which is made up of iron oxide.
Ferric oxide is a compound, composed of ions of iron ( Fe+3) and oxygen (O-2) bonded together after chemical reaction. Its formula is Fe2O3.
Iron oxide is a compound, but I would add that a chemist would refer to it as either ferrous oxide or ferric oxide, depending upon the proportion of iron to oxygen.
Iron (Not rusted) is an element. However, when iron is in contact with air and water, rust will form on its surface. Rust is an oxide of iron and rust is a compound. Since rust is red/brown in colour it means that the iron has been oxidised to oxidation state '3'. , by the action of water and air. The chemical symbol form iron is Fe (Ferrum - Latin) The chemical formula for rust is Fe2O3 (Ferric oxide). There are other oxides of iron . They are FeO (ferrous oxide = green in colour) and Fe3O4 ( magnetite - grey/black in colour)
in its pure form, iron is an element, but that may not be what you are referring to.... if you have iron oxide (rust), this is a compound of iron and oxygen.
A solid may be an element (iron), a compound (iron oxide), a mixture (iron ore).
Ferric oxide, an alternative name for iron (III) oxide, is a compound.
No. It is not. Iron is an element. Oxygen is an element. Iron Oxide is a compound.

NO!!!! It is a COMPOUND. It is made up of two elements. viz. Iron(Fe) and oxygen(O).
