Chemical Name for FeO?
No such compound exists. If it did it would be iron VI oxide, but iron cannot reach such a high oxidation state. Perhaps you mean Fe2O3, iron III oxide.
What is the oxidation number of an iron atom in Fe3O4?
This is iron II, III oxide and features iron in both the 2+ and 3+ oxidation states.
How are oxidation number determined and used?
This may best be demonstrated by example: Here are two forms (read: oxidation numbers) of iron, as FeO and Fe2O3. Because we know oxygen has a -2 charge per atom, the oxidation number of Fe in FeO is II. As for Fe2O3, we know that the oxidation number of Fe is III; there is no charge on the compound, so the two iron molecules must equally offset the -6 charge from the three oxygen atoms. Oxidation numbers are written as roman numerals. You would write these two forms of iron oxide as iron(II) oxide and iron(III) oxide, respectively. Oxidation states are the (+) or (-) charges written as a superscript.
What is the word equation for iron oxygen?
iron oxide
What is chemical name for fe2o2?
The name of the compound Fe3O4 is called iron (II,III) oxide. (Wikipedia)

Why is Fe2O3 named iron III oxide?
Iron exists in two oxidation states: Fe2+ and Fe3+. To distinguish between these two oxidation states and to specify which kind of ion will form on dissociation, they are named as Iron II and Iron III. Now, Fe2O3 contains the Fe3+ ion. That is why, it is called iron III oxide.
When iron reacts you oxygen it produces iron III oxide What is the word equation for this change?
Oxidation or rust

What is the formula for iron (III) oxide?
FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)
What is the word equation for iron oxygen?
iron oxide

Number of oxidation iron III?
+3 is the oxidation no of iron(III)
What is Fe 203?
iron (III) oxide
What does the III stand for in iron III oxide?
It stands for the charge on the iron ion. In Iron III oxide iron has a 3+ charge.
What compounds does iron form?
There can be many compounds containing Iron, Sulfur, and Oxygen : => Ferrous sulfate = FeSO4 => Ferric sulfate = Fe2(SO4)3 => Ferrous Sulfite = FeSO3 => Ferric Sulfite = Fe2(SO3)3 etc.
