What is the chemical formula for iron 2 and oxygen?

Fe3O2. But it's not right! Oxygen forms a 2- ion and iron can be 2+ or 3+. So the formulae of iron oxide can be FeO or Fe2O3.


What would the formula FeO written out as?

Ferrous Oxide or Iron 2 oxide


What is the chemical formula of iron II III oxide?

Iron(II) oxide is Fe(OH)2 Iron(III) oxide is Fe(OH)3


What is the oxidation number of iron(II) oxide?

I am going to assume you meant ferrous oxide. Ferrous oxide is also known as Iron(II) oxide and has the formula unit FeO. The oxidation number of iron in iron(II) oxide is +2.


What is Iron 2 Oxide?

Iron(II) oxide, also known as ferrous oxide, is a chemical compound with the formula FeO. It is a black powder that is a common iron oxide mineral found in nature. Iron(II) oxide is used in various industrial applications such as in the production of steel and pigments.


What is the formula of 2 iron 3 oxygen?

The formula of two iron (Fe) and three oxygen (O) atoms would be written as Fe2O3. This compound is known as iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide.


What is the ionic formula for iron 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)


Which formula correctly represents the compound of iron oxide?

There are a umber of different oxides of iron. It depends of the oxidation state of iron. Hematite is Fe2O3, iron(III) oxide. Magnetite is Fe3O4 (diron(II) diron(III) oxide. There is also FeO, iron(II) oxide.


Why is Fe the correct chemical formula for iron oxide?

It isn't Fe is simply iron There are three common oxides of iron. Iron II oxide, FeO (Fe2+ ion and O2- ion) Iron III oxide Fe2O3 (2 Fe3+ ions, 3 O2- ions) Iron II, III oxide Fe3O4 (2Fe 3+ ions, 1 Fe2+ ion, 4O2- ions) The formula are such that the overall charge of each oxide balances out to zero.


The formula for iron oxide atype of rust is 2Fe03. How many atoms of iron in a molecule of iron oxide a.1 b.2?

What is the compound with the chemical formula Fe2O3?

The name of that compound is Iron (III) Oxide. The reason you must include the "(III)" is because Iron (Fe) has two possible charges, 2+ and 3+. If it was Iron (II) Oxide, the formula would be FeO. This is because Iron would have a 2+ charge, and the Oxygen would have a 2- charge, so it would bond equally.


What is the ionic compound of Fe2O3?

Iron (III) Oxide ( or, the older term, Ferric Oxide )
