No, it is a compound.
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)
Mercury only has a two and one oxidation state. HgO would be the formula for mercury II oxide.
Mercury oxide can be decomposed, and in general, any chemical will decompose at a sufficiently high temperature.
Mercury oxide is a compound. It is a chemical substance composed of mercury and oxygen atoms that are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.
by heating mercuric oxide oxygen will evaporate and mercury will be left in the flask
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
When Hg2+ (mercury oxide) is heated it creates both Hg (liquid mercury) and O2 (oxygen gas)
