What is the chemical compound PO?

Using the rules of nomenclature for naming binary molecular compounds, this compound would be named phosphorus monoxide. However, I don't believe this compound actually exists. There are other phosphorus and oxygen binary compounds, however, such as P4O10 and P4O6, according to the Webelements website.


What is dialuminum trioxide?

There is no such thing as dialuminum trioxide because the combination of 2 aluminums and 3 oxygens creates an IONIC COMPOUND, since it is between a metal and nonmetal, and ionic compounds are not named the same way as binary molecular compounds which is the way it is named in the question. In naming a binary molecular compound you denote each element with the number of each atom in the formula, which was done with " dialuminum trioxide", except this molecule is NOT a binary molecular compound, but an IONIC COMPOUND. To name an ionic compound you simply drop the ending to the least metallic element (oxygen) and add an -ide. So the outcome is ALUMINUM OXIDE.


Does the first element in a binary compound have a charge?

hey i am in chem. now and this is a question on my worksheet my notes said that compound composed of 2 different element the total charge ot the cations = total charge of anions so if it helps i put yes they are always ionic but i gused so good luck to you
