When you have two nonmetals bounded together, you form a covalent bond. When the covalently-bonded molecule consists of two atoms of different elements, you give the second atom the prefix "mono-", so you should have "sulfur monoxide" instead.

What is wrong with this chemical formula CaCl2?
Nothing. CaCl2 is a valid formula.
What is the chemical name of lime?
The mineral lime is essentially calcium that contains inorganic material the is predominantly either oxides, carbonates or hydroxides. The basic chemical formula of lime is CaO and it is known as either calcium hydroxide or calcium oxide.
Why is the chemical formula of maltose not a multiple of its empirical formula?
Because you've gotten at least one of them wrong. The chemical formula of maltose is a multiple of its empirical formula, because that's kind of a requirement in the definition of "empirical formula."
When balancing a chemical equation what do the reactants need to be balanced with?
When balancing a chemical equation the reactants need to be balanced with the non-reactants. If you don't the formula will be produce negative results and you'll get the wrong answer.
What is the chemical formula for lead (II) phosphide?
The chemical formula for lead phosphate is Pb3(PO4)2
What is the chemical formula for tin IV oxide?
It is SnO2Why? Because:Tin has a charge of 4 and Oxygen has a charge of 2. Their charges are switched to make a compound; therefore, the chemical formula would be written as Sn2O4. Then, you have to simplify that so it would be written as SnO2.
What is wrong with this chemical formula CaCl2?
Nothing. CaCl2 is a valid formula.
What is wrong with the chemical formula i2Ca?
Its just in the wrong order. It has to be CaI2.
What will happen if the wrong chemical symbol or formula is used in a chemical equations?
So it is wrong equation .Symbols are very important

What is the chemical formula for Copper II dihydrogen phosphate?
CuH2PO4 - this is wrong! The correct answer is: Cu(H2PO4)2

Is it spelled sulfur or sulfur?
Technically speaking, sulfur (note that it does NOT begin with a capital unless it is the first word in a sentence) is correct. 'Sulfur' is the international chemical term recommended by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry). The traditional spelling 'sulphur' is still widely used; 'sulfur' is not common outside the USA except in scientific writing. Hey, you forced "aluminium" (wrong) and "caesium" (stupid, but at least there's some basis for it) down our throats, the least you can do is put up with "sulfur".
Chemical formula for aluminum sulfide?
S2Ur5 NO this is wrong! There isn't even an element that is Ur wow! The answer is Al2S3
Which element has properties and reactivities most similar to sulfur?
The last answer here was wrong by the way. Oxygen and sulfur aren't alike.
