Ferrous oxide

Description:
Ferrous oxide, also known as iron(II) oxide, is a chemical compound with the formula FeO. It is characterized by its black or dark gray appearance and is a solid at room temperature. Ferrous oxide is an ionic compound, consisting of iron in the +2 oxidation state and oxide ions. It is insoluble in water but can react with acids to form iron(II) salts. This compound is often used in various applications, including as a pigment in ceramics and glass, as a reducing agent in metallurgical processes, and in the production of iron and steel. Ferrous oxide can also serve as a precursor for other iron compounds. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it can be hazardous in certain forms, particularly as a fine powder, which may pose inhalation risks. Additionally, ferrous oxide can undergo oxidation to form ferric oxide (Fe2O3) when exposed to air, highlighting its reactivity and the importance of proper storage conditions.
