I know that it has to do with he amount of oxygen contained such as:
nitride is -N
nitrite is -NO2
nitrate is -NO3
But let assume I want to write out Iron (III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to yield iron metal and carbon dioxide
I assume iron metal is just Fe ..what about carbon monoxide and dioxide...is the mono just 1 oxygen??
How would I write out Iron (III) oxide..is there a formula to remember
or lithium carbonate?...I know the formula for it is Li2CO3 (but i don't know how or where the 2 came from? in Lithium) if that makes any sense.
Can someone with knowledge and background in chem explain to me please. I would be so grateful
