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.

Mercury plus what gives mercurous nitrate?

Mercury reacts with nitric acid to form mercurous nitrate. This reaction involves the oxidation of mercury to form mercurous ion (Hg2^2+) as well as the reduction of nitric acid to form nitric oxide (NO). Finally, the mercurous ion then combines with nitrate ions to form mercurous nitrate, represented by the chemical formula Hg2(NO3)2.
