FeO is Iron(II)oxide, archaically , Ferrous oxide.

Do NOT confuse with Fe2O3, which is Iron(III)oxide ; Archaically Ferric oxide.

The 'iron' atom is in different oxidation states for these two compounds.

NB

'Fe' is the chemical symbol for 'Iron', and comes from Latin 'Ferrum' for iron.

First of all 'FeO' is NOT an element. It is a compound composed of two elements. The elements being iron(Fe) and oxygen(O). Next, you appear to misunderstand between 'Ionic' and 'molecular'. Any substance is a composed of two or more atoms is a molecule. The method of combination of these atoms can be either 'Ionic' or 'covalent'. Iron(II) Oxide (FeO) is an ionic molecule (compound). Fe^(2+)(aq) + O^(2-)(aq) = FeO(s)
