"Atoms" of the compound iron oxide do not exist, but the compound contains iron and oxygen atoms, both in the form of ions.
A molecule of Fe2O3 contain 5 atoms; two molecules contain 10 atoms.

No. Atoms cannot be destroyed by chemical processes. When iron rusts it bonds with oxygen to form iron oxide.
I am going to assume you meant ferrous oxide. Ferrous oxide is also known as Iron(II) oxide and has the formula unit FeO. The oxidation number of iron in iron(II) oxide is +2.
a. 1 iron atom per molecule. in total, two atoms

There are at least 2 (or 3) different Iron oxide molecules: FeO, Fe2O3, (Fe3O4) From them you can add up althe atom's subscripts to get the total number of atoms: respectively 1+1=2, 2+3=5, (3+4=7)
False, iron atoms are converted to iron oxide
A molecule of Fe2O3 contain 5 atoms; two molecules contain 10 atoms.
To reduce a compound is to remove oxygen from it. Iron oxide can be reduced to iron by removing its oxygen atoms.

Iron oxide has most often has 2 atoms of iron per molecule.There are two forms of iron oxide, FeO (which has one iron atom) and Fe2O3.Iron can take on a valence of II or III. Confusing. There are actually addition formulas for other iron oxides, too, including magnetite (Fe3O4).The most common form is the Fe2O3 structure, which is the familiar iron rust.
Ores such as iron oxide is a compound and not a mixture due to two reasons: i. iron atoms being chemically bonded (not physically mixed) to oxygen atoms forming iron oxide; ii. the separation of iron from its oxide requires a chemical reaction.
No. Atoms cannot be destroyed by chemical processes. When iron rusts it bonds with oxygen to form iron oxide.
