Formula of 3 types of Iron oxides: Iron(II) oxide= FeO Iron(III) oxide= Fe2O3 Iron(II,III) oxide= Fe3O4
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 reacting with oxygen produces rust, Fe2O3 (Iron (III) oxide) or FeO2 (Iron (II) oxide) depending on the composition of the iron.
We know that iron (Fe) and oxygen (O) make up iron oxide. (There is more than one oxide of iron, by the way.)
Iron(II) oxide is FeOIron(III) oxide is Fe2O3
Formula of 3 types of Iron oxides: Iron(II) oxide= FeO Iron(III) oxide= Fe2O3 Iron(II,III) oxide= Fe3O4
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 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)
When iron is burnt (heated) and exposed to air the iron will combine rapidly with oxygen atoms to form FeO molecules (FeO - Iron Oxide - Also known as 'rust' on iron materials)
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 reacting with oxygen produces rust, Fe2O3 (Iron (III) oxide) or FeO2 (Iron (II) oxide) depending on the composition of the iron.
There can be many compounds containing Iron, Sulfur, and Oxygen : => Ferrous sulfate = FeSO4 => Ferric sulfate = Fe2(SO4)3 => Ferrous Sulfite = FeSO3 => Ferric Sulfite = Fe2(SO3)3 etc.
Iron oxide is too general a term. The formula for Iron (II) Oxide is FeO and the formula of Iron (III) Oxide is Fe2O3
The iron oxide with the formula F3O4, called iron (II,III) oxide, is known as magnetite. There are also iron (II) oxide, FeO, and iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3, but they are not magnetite.
