By the fact that it is named 'Mercury oxide' , it is NOT an element. It contains the elements 'Mercury' and Oxygen'.
Mercury oxide is a compound because it is made up of more than one type of element bonded together.
Type your answer here... A compound... duh! If it includes the names of more than one element, (in this case oxide=oxygen and mercury) and it is (obviously) safely enough combine for it to be named, it is a compound. Besides, if "element" means ONE ELEMENT, and the name includes mercury and oxygen, that means that there are TWO ELEMENTS, HELLO!
Mercury is the only element that is both liquid at room temperature and a good conductor of electricity. Mercury also has the other properties specified.
IUPAC names: Mercury(I) oxide for Hg2O and Mercury(II) oxide for HgO
Davy obtained the element Calcium from Lime by electrolyzing a mixture of lime (calcium oxide) and mercury oxide, which resulted in isolating pure calcium metal.
No. Mercury is an element and oxygen is an element, but together they form a compound.

It's a compound. Its formula is HgO, which is a combination or two or more elements.
Davy obtained the element Calcium from Lime by electrolyzing a mixture of lime (calcium oxide) and mercury oxide, which resulted in isolating pure calcium metal.
Yes, Mercury(II) oxide, also called mercuric oxide or simply mercury oxide are all the smae compound.
Pb is a compound.
mercuric oxide That name is used as the systematic or common name for a compound. This compound is also known as Mercury (II) oxide due to the oxidation number of a transition metal being used in the IUPAC nomenclature. The compound, Hg2O, would, therefore, be known as Mercury (I) oxide or mercurous oxide.
Iupac names:mercury(I) oxide is Hg2O, also called mercurous oxideandmercury(II) oxide is HgO, also called mercuric oxide
