    Iron (II) means that Fe has lost two electron i. e Fe⁺².

    We also know that Oxygen normally exists in - 2 oxidation state i. e. O⁻².

    And, for a neutral Iron (II) Oxide the overall charge on it must be zero.

    So,

    + 2 + (-2) = 0

    Means,

    For one atom of Fe⁺² we need one atom of O⁻².

    FeO

    Result:

    One Iron (II) ion combines with oxygen to form iron (ii) oxide.
