Step-by-step explanation:

The given compound is
Fe_(2)O_(3) and it contains atoms of iron and oxygen.

Number of atoms of different element present in the given formula are as follows.

Number of iron atoms = 2

Number of oxygen atoms = 3

Thus, total number of atoms present in
Fe_(2)O_(3) are as follows.

Total atoms present = number of Fe atoms + number of O atoms

= 2 + 3

= 5

Hence, we can conclude that there are total 5 atoms in a
Fe_(2)O_(3).
