Why is global warming called the greenhouse effect?

Chemistry

Since greenhouses are designed to trap in heat, we call global warming the “greenhouse effect” because it essentially does the same thing. “Greenhouse” gases (gases that easily trap heat) clog up the outer layers of the atmosphere and prevents heat from leaving the planet. The gases trap heat, just like greenhouses.

Why is feo named using a roman numeral, iron (ii) oxide, whereas cao named without a roman numeral, calcium oxide?
Hitman42 [59]
<span>Answer: Some metals have the ability to form differently charged ions. For example, iron can form 2 + or 3 + ions. If you simply gave the name iron chloride, you would not know which charge the iron ion possessed. A Roman numeral is to indicate the charge of the iron. Iron ( II ) means the iron has a 2 + charge Iron ( III ) means that the iron has a 3 + charge So, iron ( II ) oxide would have a chemical formula of FeO . (The oxide ion has a 2 â’ charge to balance the 2 + of the iron to form a neutral compound.) Iron ( III ) oxide would have a chemical formula of Fe 2 O 3 (Here you need to find the common multiple of 6, so two iron ions with a 3 + charge will balance the charge of three oxide ions with a 2 + charge.)</span>
