Ionic. This is the best decription of FeO, iron(II) oxide.
ferrous oxide -or- iron(II) oxide
FeCl2 is known as Iron(II) chloride, Iron dichloride & ferrous chloride.
iron(II) bromide, ferrous bromide, iron dibromide
Iron can exist in the body as ferrous or ferric, depending on what part of the biological process iron is in. For instance, iron in the plus two-oxidation state is "ferrous". Iron in the plus three-oxidation state is ferric.

Ferrous is a derivative of the latin word Ferrum, for Iron. Which is why iron on the periodic table is Fe. Ferrous is iron in a +2 state, and feric is iron in a +3 State. Ferrous sulfate is just FeSO4

FeCl2 Is ionic. Fe 2+ and 2Cl - Form the ionic compound iron (II) chloride, or the older term, ferrous chloride.
Ferrous sulfate is both ionic and covalent: The iron cations and polyatomic sulfate anions are ionically bonded, but the internal bonds within the sulfate anions are covalent.
Whether iron is in the ferrous or ferric state depends on the ionic charge of the iron cation, which can either exist in the +2 or +3 oxidation state. Iron is a metal and will therefore take a positive charge. Iron happens to be, more specifically, a transition metal so it can form multiple positive ions. The -ous ending means it is in the lower oxidation state (+2) and the -ic ending means it is in the higher oxidation state (+3).
Ferrous. The word "ferrous" means "like iron".
All iron is ferrous.
