What is the chemical formula for iron 2 and oxygen?

Fe3O2. But it's not right! Oxygen forms a 2- ion and iron can be 2+ or 3+. So the formulae of iron oxide can be FeO or Fe2O3.

What occurs when iron and oxygen combine to form iron oxide?

Basically there are 2 forms of iron:iron 2+ and iron 3+ Iron 2 oxide, basically is Fe2+ in order to stabilize it you need 2- which is exactly one oxygen ion therefore we get FeO While iron 3 oxide is Fe3+ in order to make a stable compound we need 2 Fe 3+ along with 3 O 2- which gives us +6 and -6 therefore a stable compound which is Fe2O3 the hydrated form of iron 3 oxide is rust


What would the formula FeO written out as?

Ferrous Oxide or Iron 2 oxide
