There is no single compound which is called a carbide. Carbides are compounds that are made of carbon and a less electronegative element.
Spent carbide is the used form of carbide, which is a binary compound of carbon with an element of lower or comparable electronegativity. It is considered damaging to the environment.
There is no symbol for carbide itself since it is actually a compound. One frequently used compound is Calcium Carbide (CaC2).
No - calcium is an inorganic element as is carbon. Combined, they form the inorganic compound calcium carbide,
A binary compound of carbon with more electropositive element is called a Carbide
You would get a compound called a carbide. The carbon would receive electrons from the metal.
Both are different. Tungsten in an element whereas a carbide is a compound composed of carbon and a less electronegative element.
It would be called cupric carbide but it doesn't exist. Copper carbide, CuC is the only compound containg only copper and carbon.
No. By definition an organic compound must contain carbon. Magnesium sulfide contains only magnesium and sulfur.
it is actually known as magnesium oxide and is a compound or residue got from burning magnesium in carbon(iv)oxide or oxygen
they form the ionic compound sodium carbide
No, Magnesium silicate is MgSiO3, an inorganic compound of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. Magnesium stearate is Mg(C18H35O2)2, an organic compound of magnesium, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
