iron(ii) oxide

Iron(II) oxide, also called ferrous oxide, is a black-colored powder with the chemical formula FeO. It consists of the element iron in the oxidation state of 2 bonded to oxygen.

Molecular weight: 71.85
Melting Point: 1370C
CAS number: 1345-25-1

Iron oxide powder combined with aluminium powder forms a mixture called thermite. When ignited, thermite produces aluminium oxide and molten iron in a highly exothermic reaction. Thermite reactions are extremely hazardous unless appropriate precautions are taken. Iron(II) oxide should not be confused with rust, which usually consists of iron(III) oxide.
