Is Calcium carbonate a Heterogeneous mixture?

Oxide is not any particular substance. The term oxide can refer to one of two things: 1: The oxide ion (O2-) which needs some sort of positive ion to balance the charge. 2: A binary compound containing oxygen and another element. Neither is an example of a mixture.


What is the smallest piece of matter a compound can be broken into and still have the same properties?

The smallest piece of matter a compound can be broken into and still have the same properties is a molecule. When a compound is broken down into individual molecules, the chemical properties of the compound remain unchanged because the molecules contain the same types and numbers of atoms that give the compound its characteristic properties.


Magnesium chloride What are facts?

yes, it is an element. You can check it in the periodic table.


Why the name of BIcarbonate if it has only ONE carbon molecule?

An interesting piece of historical chemistry. Carbonate has a valance of -2. Calcium has a valance of +2. When we talk of Cacium Carbonate we have a 1:1 ratio of Calcium to Carbon. Bicarbonate has a valance of -1 so when we combined Bicarbonate with Cacium we need two Bicarbonate ions to satisfy one Calcium ion therefore we have a ratio of 2:1 Calcium to Carbon. So the name, you see, refers not to the ion itself but to the quantities needed to satify chemical equations when compared to carbonate. It isn't rigorous science but back in the early 18th century they didn't do things all that rigorously.

What are some nonliving and living things that contain carbon?

Limestone is composed of calcium carbonate, CaCO3 (the 3 is a sub-script) so it's a calcium atom, a carbon atom, and 3 oxygen atoms. There are some other minerals that contain carbon as well. Diamond, which is pure carbon, is an example.


Type of compound?

There are ionic compounds which is a compound formed by a positive metal ion and a negative nonmetal ion. And there are convalent compounds which is a compound formed in which atoms share electrons.
