Why is it that oxide is a compound not an element?
Oxygen is the element. It's a compound because the oxygen bonds with another element to form an oxide.
Which element reacts to form oxide ions?
Oxygen is the element that reacts to form oxide ions. Oxygen typically gains two electrons to become the oxide ion (O2-).
Is mercuric oxide a element?
No. Mercury is an element and oxygen is an element, but together they form a compound.
Element reacts to form oxide ions?

This element is mostly found as a with a compound with uranium?
Uranium is found in the earth only in the form of compounds. Uranium is present in cca. 200 minerals.
Can an element be burnt to form another element?
No. If you burn an element, you will turn it into a compound (most commonly [element burnt] oxide). Which will not be an element.
Is calcium in minerals?
Calcium is present in many minerals, but not in elemental form. Calcium cations are the chemical species present in minerals.
The cemical reaction in which an element ssuch as iorn combines with oxygen to form an oxide is called?
The chemical reaction in which an element like iron combines with oxygen to form an oxide is called oxidation.
Which element combines to form most minerals?
Silicon is found in most minerals.
What are compounds that form when an element such as aluminum or iron combines chemically with oxygen called?
Compounds that form when an element such as aluminum or iron combines chemically with oxygen are called oxides. Oxide minerals are used to make products such as abrasives, toothpaste, cement, and paint.
An element that can ionic compound with oxygen is?
Nearly all metals will form ionic compounds with oxygen, or 'oxides', as they are called.
Why are most rocks brown on the outside?
Most rocks are brown on the outside because iron is present in many minerals, and it reacts with the oxygen in the air to form brown iron Oxide(rust) which is relatively soft.
