When is a prefix not used in front of the name of an element?
No prefix is used if it is an ionic compound. If it is a binary molecular compound, the prefix mono- is not used in front of the name of the first element. For example, the ionic compound Na2O is sodium oxide, not disodium monoxide, and the molecular compound CO2 is carbon dioxide, not monocarbon dioxide.
Is carbon dioxide an element or a compound or a mechanical mixture?
Carbon dioxide is a compound. It is made up of the elements carbon and oxygen in a 1:2 ratio. It is a covalent compound that has simple molecular structure.
What element does CO3 refer to?
CO3 is most commonly known as carbon trioxide. It is the combination of carbon dioxide and atomic oxygen. It is a reaction when the two are combined, and is considered to be an unstable element.
What is the difference between molecular compounds and molecular element?
mix
Is gold a molecular element?

Hydrogen or carbon dioxide is smaller?
Hydrogen has by far the smaller molecular mass (and atomic number) making it the smallest element
Is carbon oxygen a compound or element?
Carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are molecular compounds containing the elements carbon and oxygen. There is no compound named carbon oxygen.Added:Carbon is an element, atomic symbol C.Oxygen is an element, di-atomic molecule with symbol O2.Carbon dioxide is a compound with molecular formula CO2, where the two elements (C and O2) are bonded together.Carbon monoxide is a compound, (very different from carbon dioxide), with molecular formula CO, where the two elements (C and O2) are bonded together in a different way.
Is Hg a molecular element?
No Hg, or mercury is an element, but it is not molecular.
What is the number of atoms of each element in sulfur dioxide?
1 Sulfur atom and 2 oxygen atoms. Its molecular formula is SO2
Is carbon dioxide an element or a compound or a mechanical mixture?
Carbon dioxide is a compound. It is made up of the elements carbon and oxygen in a 1:2 ratio. It is a covalent compound that has simple molecular structure.
Is atomic oxygen as molecular compound?
oxygen is an element not a molecular compound as a molecular compounds are chemically combined and are of more then one element.
What is the meaing of carbon dioxide?
According to the rules of nomenclature for molecular compounds, "carbon" means 1 carbon (the absence of a prefix in the first element of a molecular compound means there's just one) and "dioxide" means 2 (the prefix di- means 2.) If, by chance, the second element of a molecular compounds has 1, then you do use the prefix mono-, for example, carbon monoxide. However, a molecular compound never starts with mono-. If there's just one, you omit the prefix on the first of the two elements. So, carbon dioxide means 1 carbon, 2 oxygens, so CO2.
Is chlorine a molecular compound?
No. It's a molecular element.
Is Iron molecular element or molecular compound?
yes
Is oxygen an element or mixture or a compound?
Oxygen is an element. In the air it is mixed with Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, etc.
Can you further breakdown an element?
No, an element is the simplest form of matter.
