Mercurous has a charge of +2, and Oxide has a charge of -2. You cross the charges

and get Hg2O2. The 2s cancel out, leaving you : HgO

nuh uh, mercurOUS has a charge of +1, so it's Hg2O

mercurIC has a charge of +2, that would be HgO

What is the balanced formula for mercuric oxide?

HgO. The single mercury cation has a +2 charge, and single oxide anion a -2 charge. Mercurous oxide would be Hg2O, ie, the mecurous ion is a dimer, therefore it has two mercury atoms, each with a +1 charge. Since the oxide ion has a -2 charge , mercurous oxide is Hg2O.
