Basically mecuric ions exist in solution as Hg2+,Hg22+ <P>
<P>Neither, in it's natural state. Mercury (Hg) is an element, and exists as a neutral atom, unless it combines with other elements. In this case, it combines with negative elements (for example chloride -Cl) and then it has a positive charge (Hg)++(Cl-)2. Then, it is a cation.</P>

What is the oxidation number of mercury in the mercurous ion?
The oxidation number of mercury in the mercurous ion (Hg₂²⁺) is +1. Each mercury atom in the mercurous ion carries a charge of +1.
Is mercurious a cation?
"Mercurous" is indeed the name of a cation, the one now most often called Hg (I).
Why formula of mercurous chloride is hg2cl2 but not hgcl?
A single mercurous ion has two positive charges and contains two mercury atoms and therefore has the formula Hg2+2. This cation requires two chloride anions, each which has a single negative charge, for the electroneutrality required in a compound between them, resulting in the formula given.
Mercury plus what gives mercurous nitrate?
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 .
What is the chemical formula of mercurous?
Th mercurous ion is a diatomic catiion, Hg22+, consisting of two mercury atoms covalently bonded together.
Another name of cation?

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.
