Respuesta :

Iron (II) oxide is composed of iron with an oxidation number of +2 (shown by the II after iron) and an oxygen that has an oxidation number of -2 (oxygen almost always has an oxidation state of -2).  Since the anion and cation both have a charge of +or- 2, they bond with each other with a 1 to 1 ratio and the formula should be FeO

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
