Iupac names:mercury(I) oxide is Hg2O, also called mercurous oxideandmercury(II) oxide is HgO, also called mercuric oxide
The word equation for the breakdown of solid mercury(II) oxide when heated is: Mercury(II) oxide --> Mercury + Oxygen.
When Hg2+ (mercury oxide) is heated it creates both Hg (liquid mercury) and O2 (oxygen gas)
When mercury(II) oxide (HgO) is heated, it decomposes into mercury and oxygen. The atoms present in the compound at the start of the reaction are mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O), and these same atoms will be present at the end of the reaction, just in different molecular forms.
Mercury only has a two and one oxidation state. HgO would be the formula for mercury II oxide.
IUPAC names: Mercury(I) oxide for Hg2O and Mercury(II) oxide for HgO
Yes, Mercury(II) oxide, also called mercuric oxide or simply mercury oxide are all the smae compound.
The air surrounding said Mercury metal was absorbed into the mercury at the higher temperatures, therefore causing the new substance--mercuric oxide--to weigh more.
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.

Yes it is, and it is written as Mercury (II) oxide
It will probably just turn into black mercury oxide... along with some of your mercury solvent. Heating it will remove the oxygen from the compound, leaving metallic mercury, and any other contaminants behind. Whatever you do, just be careful with this stuff.
Mercury oxide is composed of mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O) atoms. The chemical formula for mercury(I) oxide is Hg2O, while the formula for mercury(II) oxide is HgO.
When Hg2+ (mercury oxide) is heated it creates both Hg (liquid mercury) and O2 (oxygen gas)
When mercury(II) oxide (HgO) is heated, it decomposes into mercury and oxygen. The atoms present in the compound at the start of the reaction are mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O), and these same atoms will be present at the end of the reaction, just in different molecular forms.
By the fact that it is named 'mercury oxide' , it is NOT an element. It contains the elements 'Mercury' and Oxygen'.
