Best Answer

Ferrous oxide is non-stoichiometric because Fe2+ is readily oxidised to Fe3+. A lattice forms with some Fe3+ replacing Fe2+ (2 Fe3+ replace on average 3Fe2+ )

The lattice structure can accomodate a small degree of "distortion" and the net result is a compound sample with a composition Fe0.95O.
