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'.
