Firstly, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm new here. Seems to be an awesome site! :)
Well, I've got to learn all these formulae (regarding the periodic table) and was wandering if there's any specific way to be able to understand when something is and Oxide or Dioxide etc.
Like fore example SO2 is Sulphur Dioxide, does that mean all "O2" are dioxide?
Also, like CaCO3 is Calcium Carbonate - so CO3 is Carbonate?
I came here :p
O couldn't find this, cause I wasn't sure how to word it in Google...
Anyway, I'm only 15, so it's the rather more basic answers.
Thanks in advanced, I really appreciate it! :)
