Iron oxide has most often has 2 atoms of iron per molecule.
There are two forms of iron oxide, FeO (which has one iron atom) and Fe2O3.
Iron can take on a valence of II or III. Confusing. There are actually addition formulas for other iron oxides, too, including magnetite (Fe3O4).
The most common form is the Fe2O3 structure, which is the familiar iron rust.
Iron II oxide: FeO Iron III oxide: Fe2O3
FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)
Iron oxide is made up of iron and oxygen combined together. There are three types of iron oxide viz., Iron(II) oxide (FeO) occasionally referred to as 'greenstone' , because it is slightly green in colour. Iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) commerically referred to as iron ore. It is the most common and stable of the oxides of iron. Iron(IV)Oxide (Fe3O4) known as magnetite. Because a rod or bar of it will orientate towards the north pole. Historically it was named 'lodestone'.
There are 6 atoms of oxygen represented by this.
Iron oxide is composed of iron and oxygen atoms. The most common forms are FeO (iron(II) oxide, or ferrous oxide) and Fe2O3 (iron(III) oxide, or ferric oxide). Iron(II) oxide has a black to brown hue, while iron(III) oxide appears as a reddish-brown color.
Actually there are several iron oxides, iron(II)oxide, iron(III)oxide and iron(II,III)oxide, and iron(III)oxide comes in four so-called 'phases'.All of these are compounds of iron with oxygen.
Fe2O3 is the chemical formula for iron(III) oxide, also known as rust. It is a compound formed by two iron atoms bonded to three oxygen atoms. Iron(III) oxide is a common mineral found in nature and is responsible for the red-brown color of rust.
A molecule of Fe2O3 contain 5 atoms; two molecules contain 10 atoms.
The chemical formula for Iron III oxide is Fe2O3. It is composed of two iron atoms bonded to three oxygen atoms in a compound.
Iron II oxide: FeO Iron III oxide: Fe2O3
FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,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)
Rust (Iron-III oxide) is an ionic compound formed from iron atoms and oxygen atoms. We don't refer to an ionic solid as being a molecule, though, we represent the solid by its smallest building block. In this case, we represent iron (III) oxide as Fe2O3.
The name of the compound Fe3O4 is called iron (II,III) oxide. (Wikipedia)

Iron(III)Oxide
250 g iron (III) oxide is equal to 1,565 moles.
