Chemical nomenclature Therefore, the name of the compound is calcium hydroxide. If one is asked to write the formula for copper(I) chromate, the Roman numeral indicates that copper ion is Cu and one can identify that the compound contains the chromate ion (). Two of the 1+ copper ions are needed to balance the charge of one 2− chromate ion, so the formula is CuCrO. Type-III binary compounds are covalently bonded. Covalent bonding occurs between nonmetal elements. Covalently-bonded compounds are also known as "molecules". In the compound, the first element is named first and with its full elemental name. The second element
Period 3 element pulmonary agent in chemical warfare; however, chlorine is necessary to most forms of life, including humans, in form of chloride ions. Argon has no biological role. Like any gas besides oxygen, argon is an asphyxiant. Period 3 element A period 3 element is one of the chemical elements in the third row (or period) of the periodic table of the chemical elements. The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behaviour of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when the periodic table skips a row and
