Answer 2

2ag20-->4ag +02

Answer 3

@sleepyjess

Answer 4

How do you get that?

Answer 5

after decomposes it shuld spilts into ag and 02 and for geting i had balanced the equation

Answer 6

@sleepyjess

Answer 7

It is the decomposition "formula"

Answer 8

When something decomposes, it is usually into it's "parent elements"

Answer 9

So silver oxide would become silver and oxygen

Answer 10

And then you would write it out and make sure to balance it

Answer 21

I don't really get what they said above, I would think it would be \(\bf Ag_2\) and O....

Answer 22

When you heat the metal oxide, it'll give you the metal itself and oxygen. Metal atoms are held by metallic bond. Whenever it's "of its own", you just write the symbol.
E.G.:
Magnesium --> Mg
Sodium --> Na

For oxygen atom to be stable, it needs to form covalent bonds with the same kind of atom.
E.G. O itself is not stable (since the outermost shell has only 6 electrons), it needs to form covalent bond with another O atom, with 2 pairs of shared electrons. Hence you'll have \(O_2\)

My advice is you'd better revise the basic chemistry, like the structures, before you go on and do such questions.
