"Atoms" of the compound iron oxide do not exist, but the compound contains iron and oxygen atoms, both in the form of ions.
The elements found in ferrous oxide are iron (Fe) and oxygen (O).
iron is found in mixed form with other elements in a compound, mainly it is found as iron oxide
iron is found in mixed form with other elements in a compound, mainly it is found as iron oxide
The metal itself and oxygen. For example, in ferrous oxide or ferric oxide, there is iron and oxygen.
Iron is NOT made up of two elements. Iron is an element in its own right. It is found in the Periodic Table of Elements as 'Fe'. 'Fe' is the initials of the Latin name for iron, which is Ferrum. However, iron is mined as iron ore, which is an oxide of iron. It is a chemical combination of iron and oxygen. These are possibly the two elements you are thinking about. As oxides of iron can be found in different forms ( oxidation states). They Are. :- Fe3O4 ; Magnetite. (Lodestone of early navigation). Fe2O3 ; Iron (III) Oxide [ Ferric oxide) the common iron ore. FeO ; Iron (II) Oxide (Ferrous oxide) FeS ; Iron (II) Sulphide (Much less common. Iron metal is NOT found uncombined.
We know that iron (Fe) and oxygen (O) make up iron oxide. (There is more than one oxide of iron, by the way.)
No elements are made up of a compound. I think you mean 'Which elements make up iron oxide?', and the answer to that is iron and oxygen.
Iron oxide has two main chemical compounds: iron(II) oxide (FeO) and iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3). Both compounds consist of two elements - iron and oxygen.
Iron oxide contains iron (Fe) and oxygen (O) elements. The most common forms of iron oxide are magnetite (Fe3O4) and hematite (Fe2O3).

iron and oxygen!
Iron and oxygen are the two elements that combine to create iron oxide. In the case of rust, iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water to form iron oxide, commonly known as rust.
