To understand why FeO (Iron(II) oxide) is not formed in stoichiometric composition, we can break down the explanation into clear steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Stoichiometric Composition**: - Stoichiometric composition refers to a compound where the elements are present in a fixed ratio as indicated by its chemical formula. For FeO, this would imply a 1:1 ratio of iron (Fe) to oxygen (O). 2. **Actual Composition of FeO**: ...
