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
The formula for mercurous peroxide is Hg2O2.
Iupac names:mercury(I) oxide is Hg2O, also called mercurous oxideandmercury(II) oxide is HgO, also called mercuric oxide
Mercury could be reacted with Nitric acid to form Mercurous nitrate. Since hydrogen is less reactive than mercury, therefore mercury would not replace hydrogen from nitric acid but the nitrate ion could oxidize mercury ion and form mercurous chloride .
OF2 is the formula for fluorine oxide.
Al2O3 is the chemical formula of aluminium oxide.
The formula for mercurous peroxide is Hg2O2.
Iupac names:mercury(I) oxide is Hg2O, also called mercurous oxideandmercury(II) oxide is HgO, also called 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.
The chemical name for that formula is Mercurous Dioxide.
IUPAC names: Mercury(I) oxide for Hg2O and Mercury(II) oxide for HgO
Mercury could be reacted with Nitric acid to form Mercurous nitrate. Since hydrogen is less reactive than mercury, therefore mercury would not replace hydrogen from nitric acid but the nitrate ion could oxidize mercury ion and form mercurous chloride .
