Is neon and oxygen written as neonide and oxide?
Oxygen is oxide, but is neon neonide? or is it just written as neon in an ionic compound?
Neon forms no stable compounds with other elements. Therefore, there are no "neonides".
Xenon and (I believe) krypton, which are also called inert gases, do form some compounds with fluorine.
ohkay. thank you drwls. :)
No, neon and oxygen are not typically referred to as "neonide" and "oxide." These terms are not commonly used to name compounds containing neon and oxygen.
Neon (Ne) is a noble gas and exists as a single atom, so it doesn't typically form compounds with other elements. It is highly unreactive due to its stable electron configuration.
Oxygen (O), on the other hand, readily forms compounds with many other elements. When oxygen combines with another element, it typically forms an oxide compound. For example, when oxygen combines with hydrogen, it forms water (H2O), which is an oxide compound known as water vapor or steam.
It's important to note, however, that when oxygen combines with some elements in specific circumstances, different compound names may be used. For example, an oxygen atom can combine with carbon to form carbon dioxide (CO2), rather than being referred to as "carbon oxide."
In summary, while neon doesn't usually form compounds, oxygen generally forms oxide compounds when it combines with other elements, but the names of these compounds may vary depending on the specific element it reacts with.
