Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Elements
  • The chemical formula \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) consists of iron (Fe) and oxygen (O).
Step 2: Determine the Oxidation States
  • Iron (Fe) can have multiple oxidation states. In \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\), iron is in the +3 oxidation state because oxygen is typically in the -2 state.
Step 3: Name the Compound
  • The compound is named based on the elements and their oxidation states. Since iron is in the +3 state, the compound is called iron(III) oxide.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{iron(III) oxide}}\)
