AI Generated Solution

To explain why FeO has a non-stoichiometric composition with the formula Fe₀.₉₅O₁.₀₀, we can break down the reasoning into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Stoichiometry**: - Stoichiometric compounds have a fixed ratio of elements, typically represented in whole numbers. For FeO, the expected stoichiometric ratio is 1:1, meaning one iron (Fe) atom for every oxygen (O) atom. 2. **Analyzing the Given Composition**: ...
