No. The oxide ion has a -2 charge.
HgO. The single mercury cation has a +2 charge, and single oxide anion a -2 charge. Mercurous oxide would be Hg2O, ie, the mecurous ion is a dimer, therefore it has two mercury atoms, each with a +1 charge. Since the oxide ion has a -2 charge , mercurous oxide is Hg2O.
+2
-2
Calcium oxide is an ionically bonded compound that contains equal numbers of calcium cations with a charge of +2 and oxide anions with a charge of -2.
No. The oxide ion has a -2 charge.
An oxide ion has a charge of 2-.
Oxide ions have a charge of -2.
I think cuprous oxide has a charge of 1+, while cupric oxide has a charge of 2+. Cupric oxide is also more stable than cuprous oxide.
HgO. The single mercury cation has a +2 charge, and single oxide anion a -2 charge. Mercurous oxide would be Hg2O, ie, the mecurous ion is a dimer, therefore it has two mercury atoms, each with a +1 charge. Since the oxide ion has a -2 charge , mercurous oxide is Hg2O.
+2
-2 charge Be careful though, because if there are more than one oxygen in an oxide it will differ. Such as Aluminium oxide, the formula for this is Al2O3 and the oxide portion of this is -6
Oxygen itself has a charge of -2 as it is in group 6 of the table. It is not always -2 just to be careful, if there are more oxygens in the oxide, the result will be additive
Mercurous has a charge of +2, and Oxide has a charge of -2. You cross the chargesand get Hg2O2. The 2s cancel out, leaving you : HgOnuh uh, mercurOUS has a charge of +1, so it's Hg2OmercurIC has a charge of +2, that would be HgO
An oxide ion has a negative two charge (-2)
-2 charge Be careful though, because if there are more than one oxygen in an oxide it will differ. Such as Aluminium oxide, the formula for this is Al2O3 and the oxide portion of this is -6
