lol i just finished chemistry n moving on to physics

Mercury(II) carbonate Hg(CO3)2

thy share electrons... its an ionic compound....the combining capacity has to be switched n since CO3 has 1..1 in never written in chemical formulas so thy y Hg is alone ... the combining capacity frm mercury is transfered to CO3..since it cant be written as CO32...has to be ( ) parenthesis...2 outside the parenthesis

Hope this helps
