You have answered the question for yourself.!!!!!
Iron (III) Oxide [ Fe2O3] has the oxidation number of '3'. Written in Roman Numerals ' III ' .
An atom of iron has 6 electrons in its outer most energy (valence) shell. Of these six electrons only '3' are involved in combining with another atoms. This other '3' remain uncombined.
Similarly Iron (II) Oxide
NB Iron as all the other Transition [ 'd' block ] elements, exhibits variable oxidation numbers.
NNB When you read Roman Numerals in a chemical name formula, it indicates the oxidation state.
NNNB Archaically Iron(II) oxide is Ferrous Oxide , and Iron(III) oxide is Ferric oxide.
NNNNB Potassium permanganate has the manganese in oxidation state '7', written as Potassium manganate(VII) [ KMnO4] .

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.
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.
Why is fo2o3 named iron oxide?
First of all to correct your formula. It is ' Fe2O3'. Note the use of Capital Letters and the position of the numbers. Secondly ' Fe' is the Latin initials for the word 'iron', which is 'Ferrum'. Hence Fe2O3 is Iron Oxide. Iron exhibits different oxidation states. For given compound of iron, it is correctly named as 'Iron (III) Oxide '. ' Said as 'Iron three oxide '. In everyday terms , this is 'RUST'. Or mined as 'iron ore'. Archaically it would be named as 'Ferric Oxide'. Note the root word 'ferric/ferrum' for iron. Also note the use of Roman Numerals (III) for '3' , to indicate oxidation state. Iron also exhibits different oxidation states. This makes for the other iron compound ' FeO ' , which is Iron (II) Oxide, and is archaically named as Ferrous Oxide. It is in oxidation state (II) '2'. This is much less common and is green in colour.
What is the formula for iron using the highest oxidation number?

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.
What is the formula for iron using the highest oxidation number?
The formula for iron using the highest oxidation number is Fe2O3, which is iron(III) oxide. In this compound, iron is in the +3 oxidation state.
When iron reacts you oxygen it produces iron III oxide What is the word equation for this change?
Oxidation or rust
What is the oxidation number of iron in ferrousofericoxide?
The oxidation number of iron in ferrousofericoxide (Fe3O4) is a combination of Fe(II) and Fe(III) ions. The Fe(II) ions have an oxidation number of +2, while the Fe(III) ions have an oxidation number of +3. Each formula unit of Fe3O4 contains two Fe(III) ions and one Fe(II) ion, resulting in an average oxidation number of +2.67 for iron in this compound.
Is iron III oxide a molecular compound why?
No. Iron III oxide is an ionic compound. This is due to the large difference in electronegativity between oxygen and iron. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 2.0 a compound is generally ionic. The difference between iron and oxygen is 2.61.
What is the chemical formula of iron II III oxide?
Iron(II) oxide is Fe(OH)2 Iron(III) oxide is Fe(OH)3
How do you find the chemical formula for iron III oxide?
The name iron III oxide shows that you have two types of ion in the compound, the iron III ion (Fe3+) and the oxide ion (O2-). What you need to do is find what ratio to combine the ions in so that the positive and negative charges cancel out to zero. One way of doing this is to switch the numbers of each ion's charge, and assign it to the opposite ion, so in this case you get 2 Fe3+ ions and 3 O2- ions. So the formula is Fe2O3
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)
