What is the ionic charge of carbonic acid?
Zero. A compound will never have a net ionic charge.
Can the empirical formula of a compound be triple its molecular formula?
No: The molecular formula is never smaller than the empirical formula.
Why do you never find an individual sodium chloride molecule by itself?
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound and does not form molecules. Sodium chloride forms a crystal lattice in which each ion is surrounded by six ions of the opposite charge. The chemical formula of sodium chloride, NaCl, represents a formula unit, which is the smallest whole number ratio of ions in the compound.
What is the net charge of the ionic compound calcuim flouride?
The electronic configuration of F is [He] 2s2 2p5. An F atom needs just one more electron in its 2p shell to form the stable noble gas configuration. In gaining a single electron an F atom incurs a -1 negative charge. Thus, the charge on F ion is -1. The chemical formula for the F ion is F-.one negative
What is the formula name for HlO2?
Iodous acid is the chemical compound with the formula HIO2. Its' salts are named iodites; these are exceedingly unstable and have been observed but never isolated. They will rapidly break apart into iodine and iodates (the salt of iodic acid).
What is the ionic charge of carbonic acid?
Zero. A compound will never have a net ionic charge.
Can the empirical formula of a compound be triple its molecular formula?
No: The molecular formula is never smaller than the empirical formula.
Is CaMgCO a element or a compound?
It would be a compound. An element's symbol never has more than three letters and never has more than one uppercase letter. Note, though that no compound with this formula exists. You must remember your subscripts. The correct formula is CaMg(CO3)2, the formula for the mineral dolomite.

What charge would an oxygen atom with 10 electrons have?
An Oxygen atom would never contain 10 electrons on its own. It would have a maximum of 8 electrons at one time, unless the "oxygen atom" you are referring to is in fact an oxygen ION, in which case the charge would be -2. However, an oxygen ion can never be "by itself". It must be bonded with either itself as a diatomic or with another element as a compound.

What is the formula for tetra-fluoride?
I never heard about such a compound. If this exists, then it will be N3F4. By the way, check if you did not mean Dinitrogen tetrafluoride, as I don't know about trinitrogen tetrafluoride.
What is the formula for tetra fluoride?

Is a compound always a mixture?
No. A compound is never a mixture. A compound is a pure substance.
Is caco3 an element or compounds?
This compound is called calcium carbonate It contains calcium, carbon, and oxygen, all of which are different types of elements. It is a compound because it contains more than one type element* * An element is a substance with only contains one type of substance e.g. oxygen, sodium. Generally if it is on the periodic table it is an element.

Is nitrogen trifluoride a covalent bond?
Covalent because it has Tri as a prefix and it shares electrons.
