How does an oxygen becomes an oxide ion?
Reacting with another elements oxygen forms oxides.
Why is magnesium oxide white?
magnesium is a purply substance. Although when this substance is burned with oxygen it becomes Magnesium Oxide. This chemical then turns into a black liquidy colour. The word equation for this experiment is: magnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium Oxide
How many electrons are gained in the half-reaction O2 electrons - 2O2?
In the half reaction where an oxygen molecule becomes into two oxide ions, it obtains 4 electrons from the oxidising substance.
What is the chemical equation for the synthesis of magnesium oxide from magnesium and oxygen?
You are doing:Magnesium + Oxygen -> Magnesium OxideSo replace the words with symbols to make the equation more advanced:Mg + O2 -> MgOAnd to balance it:2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO
How many elements are there in potassium oxide?
There are 2 elements in potassium oxide, which are potassium and oxygen.
What happens when you mix iron and Zinc Oxide and heat it?
a redox reaction takes place ( one gains oxygen and the other looses oxygen) the zinc (oxide) is displaced and the iron becomes iron oxide and zinc oxide becomes zinc
What happens when you add sulfur to oxygen?
it becomes sulphur oxide
What happens when phosphorus reacts with oxygen?
it becomes phosphorus oxide
How does an oxygen becomes an oxide ion?
Reacting with another elements oxygen forms oxides.
Symbols for elements in dinitrogen oxide?
N2O there are two nitrogens and one oxygen
Is hydrogen a basic oxide?
Hydrogen is an element. It is not an oxide. A substance becomes oxide when it is bonded with oxygen only. Water is hydrogen oxide which is neutral
What happens if oxide atom becomes an oxygen atom?
Oxide is the ion form of oxygen. It forms when an oxygen atom gains an extra two electrons. So an oxide ion would become an oxygen atom by losing two electrons.
What is the atomic sybmol of oxide?
Oxide is the anion form of Oxygen. When an Oxygen atom gains two electrons, it becomes an anion, or negatively charged ion. It is usually written as O2-.
When an oxygen atom becomes an oxide ion it has a charge of -2 why?
It has gained 2 electrons.
What reaction is it when magnesium is burnt in air?
Magnesium plus oxygen becomes magnesium oxide.
What happens when you magnesium is heated in air?
Magnesium's mass increases as it becomes magnesium oxide.
Why is magnesium oxide white?
magnesium is a purply substance. Although when this substance is burned with oxygen it becomes Magnesium Oxide. This chemical then turns into a black liquidy colour. The word equation for this experiment is: magnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium Oxide
