When an oxygen atom becomes an oxide ion it has a charge of -2 why?
It has gained 2 electrons.
What two kinds of atom are there in sodium oxide?
sodium and oxygen
What is formed by an oxygen atom and called an oxide ion?
anion
What elements make up a Calcium oxide atom?
Calcium and oxygen
Are there molecules in oxygen?
No, Oxygen is an atom, and as such is composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. There are no molecules in oxygen, but a single oxygen atom becomes a molecule when it is combined with another oxygen atom to form O2.
When an oxygen atom becomes an oxide ion it has a charge of -2 why?
It has gained 2 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-.
What happens to the outer shell of a calcium atom when it reacts with an oxygen atom?
the outer cell will burn up leaving calcium-oxide
How many hydrogen and oxygen atoms are in zinc oxide?
Zinc oxide is ZnO and there is one zinc atom, one oxygen atom and no hydrogen atom.
An oxide ion is oxidized to an oxygen atom by what?
An oxygen atom can only be oxidized by some element with an equal or higher electronegativity. So, oxygen can be oxidized by fluorine (e.g., OF2) or by another oxygen atom (e.g., O2).
What happens to the outer shell electrons of a calcium when it reacts with a oxygen atoms?
The two outer shell electrons of a calcium atom are donated to an oxygen atom, forming calcium cations and oxygen anions that together constitute the salt compound calcium oxide.
What element is in potassium oxide K2O?
2 atom potassium and 1 atom oxygen
What two kinds of atom are there in sodium oxide?
sodium and oxygen
What is formed by an oxygen atom and called an oxide ion?
anion
Is it oxide an element or atom?
Neither. An oxide is a compound consisting of a combination of atoms, a metal and oxygen.
What is the difference between nitric oxide and whip its nitric?
At the simplest level: Nitric Oxide is 1 Nitrogen atom and 1 Oxygen atom that make up the NO molecule. Nitrous Oxide is 2 Nitrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom that make up the N2O molecule.
How does an oxygen atom become an oxide ion?
Reacting with another elements oxygen forms oxides.
