How many elements in iron oxide?

Iron oxide has two main chemical compounds: iron(II) oxide (FeO) and iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3). Both compounds consist of two elements - iron and oxygen.


What are the two elements that make up iron?

Iron is NOT made up of two elements. Iron is an element in its own right. It is found in the Periodic Table of Elements as 'Fe'. 'Fe' is the initials of the Latin name for iron, which is Ferrum. However, iron is mined as iron ore, which is an oxide of iron. It is a chemical combination of iron and oxygen. These are possibly the two elements you are thinking about. As oxides of iron can be found in different forms ( oxidation states). They Are. :- Fe3O4 ; Magnetite. (Lodestone of early navigation). Fe2O3 ; Iron (III) Oxide [ Ferric oxide) the common iron ore. FeO ; Iron (II) Oxide (Ferrous oxide) FeS ; Iron (II) Sulphide (Much less common. Iron metal is NOT found uncombined.


Is something made up of iron and oxygen an element?

NO!!!! It is a COMPOUND, made up (COMBINATION) of two elements , viz. Iron and Oxygen. Compounds of iron and oxygen are : = FeO ; Ferrous Oxide Fe2O3 ; Ferric Oxide Fe3O4 ; Magnetite.


Can you use a magnet to separate iron oxide into iron and oxygen?

No, because Iron oxide is not a mixture of Iron and Oxygen. It is a compound in which iron and Oxygen have been chemically combined to create a new substance, which has different chemical and physical properties form either of the two elements which it is made from.


How many molecules of iron are there in iron oxide?

One molecule of iron oxide (Fe2O3) contains two iron atoms per molecule. So, for every molecule of iron oxide, there are two iron atoms, which means one iron oxide molecule contains two iron atoms.

Would one particle of iron oxide be considered a molecule or an atom?

Since iron oxide is made from TWO elements (Fe, and O), it is a compounds and so you have a MOLECULE, not an atom of iron oxide.


Element of compound ferrous oxide?

It is not an element. It is an compound made of two elements: Iron and Oxygen, FeO.


What 2 elements make up rust?

Iron and oxygen


Is iron oxide an element?

No, iron oxide is not an element. It is a compound of iron and oxygen. (There is more than one kind of iron oxide, too.)

What are the elements in the compound Fe2O3?

well Fe is one element and O is another, so there are two, but since there are numbers next to the element symbol, it means there are anumber of those elements combined, such as Fe2 O3 there are two ironmolecules and 3 oxygen molecules combined.. Therefore: 4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3

What 2 elements composes iron oxide?

I would hope that "chromium" is obvious. Slightly less obvious is that "oxide" refers to the presence of oxygen.
