Iron is a grayish metal made entirely of neutral iron (Fe) atoms. It is a pure element.
There are three main variants of iron oxide, all of which are compounds containing iron and oxygen in the form of ions.
Iron III oxide (Fe2O3) contains Fe3+ ions and O2- ions and is a reddish powdery or flaky substance. It is the main component of rust.
Iron II Oxide (FeO) contains Fe2+ ions and O2- ions and is a black crystalline solid.
Iron II,III oxide (Fe3O4) contains Fe 2+, Fe 3+, and O2- ions and is usually a black, powdery substance.
No. Iron III oxide is an ionic compound. This is due to the large difference in electronegativity between oxygen and iron. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 2.0 a compound is generally ionic. The difference between iron and oxygen is 2.61.
One is oxidized aluminum and the other is oxidized iron. Iron oxide is magnetic. Aluminum oxide is not. Most of the clear semi precious gems like rubies and emeralds are made from aluminum oxide. Iron oxide is in hematite the black, opaque mineral.
Iron Oxide Its actually Iron(ii) Oxide there is no such thing as iron oxide.
Rust is not an element but compounds of iron. The brown oxide of iron is ferrous oxide and the black oxide of iron is ferric oxide.
The scientific name for rust is iron oxide. It is made up of the elements iron and oxygen. Turning iron to iron oxide is an example of corrosion.
the black iron oxide has reacted with carbon and other impurities

the reaction between iron metal and oxygen gas making solid iron oxide
The name indicates that it is an oxide of iron, which would only result from a chemical reaction between iron and oxygen, forming the compound iron oxide.
The difference is magnesium oxide contains oxide ions ,whereas aluminium oxide doesn't.
Iron Oxide Its actually Iron(ii) Oxide there is no such thing as iron oxide.
Rust is not an element but compounds of iron. The brown oxide of iron is ferrous oxide and the black oxide of iron is ferric oxide.
No, iron oxide is a solid.
FeO for ferrous oxide, ( iron(II) oxide); Fe2O3 for ferric oxide, (iron(III) oxide) and Fe3O4 for ferrous ferric oxide, (iron (II,III) oxide)
