What is the formula for the compound formed by sodium and oxygen?
The sodium ion is Na+ and the oxide ion is O2-. Therefore the ionic compound formed between the two ions has chemical formula Na2O which is sodium oxide.
What ions are formed by oxygen and fluorine?
Oxygen forms the O2- oxide ion; fluorine the F- fluoride ion.
An oxide ion is oxidized to an oxygen atom by what?
An oxygen atom can only be oxidized by some element with an equal or higher electronegativity. So, oxygen can be oxidized by fluorine (e.g., OF2) or by another oxygen atom (e.g., O2).
The formulas of the oxide and nitrate ions are respectively?
The formula for the oxide ion is O2-, and the formula for the nitrate ion is NO3-.
What is the formula for compounds formed from Ba2 and S2-?
Barium Oxide is BaO.Ba+2 is Barium positive ion (anion).
The anion formed from an oxygen called?
Oxide ion.
What is formed by an oxygen atom and called an oxide ion?
anion
What is the formula for the compound formed by sodium and oxygen?
The sodium ion is Na+ and the oxide ion is O2-. Therefore the ionic compound formed between the two ions has chemical formula Na2O which is sodium oxide.
What ions are formed by oxygen and fluorine?
Oxygen forms the O2- oxide ion; fluorine the F- fluoride ion.
Is oxide a element?
Oxide itself is not an element, it is an ion.But oxygen is an element.Oxide (O2-) the the main ion formed by oxygen.An oxide can also be an oxygen containing compound.
How many protons are in an oxide ion?
There are 8 protons and 10 electrons in an oxide ion.
What is an anion and how is it formed?
an anion is simply an atom of an element which has 1 or more excess electrons in addition to its own electrons.this is the reason an anion has negative charge equals to the number of excess electrons it has.
What is the polyatomic ion oxide?
The polyatomic ion for oxide what is it?
An oxide ion is oxidized to an oxygen atom by what?
An oxygen atom can only be oxidized by some element with an equal or higher electronegativity. So, oxygen can be oxidized by fluorine (e.g., OF2) or by another oxygen atom (e.g., O2).
Is -3 the charge in an oxide ion?
No. The oxide ion has a -2 charge.
What is the formula of hydronium ion and oxide ion?
The chemical formula of hydronium ion is (H3O)+.For the "oxide ion" check your spelling.
Oxide ion is isoelectronic which noble gas?
oxide ion is isoelectronic with neon.
