Iron (II) oxide

Explanation:

Chemical formula of the given compound = FeO

The given compound is an oxide.

In oxides, oxidation state of 'O' is - 2.

Let oxidation state of Fe be x. It is a neutral compound.

Therefore, x - 2 = 0

x = + 2

So, the oxidation state of Fe in FeO = + 2

In the nomenclature of inorganic compounds, cation is named first. After that oxidation state of cation is written. Name of anion is written after that.

Cation = Iron

Anion = oxide

So the name of the given compound would be Iron (II) oxide.
