The product you are probably asking about is Calcium Carbide.
Its formula is Ca2C. It is an historic product and was used in the late 1800's to generate acetylene gas for lighting. Coal miners carried "carbide lamps" until battery operated lights were developed..

NaF = I think it is Sodium Floride and it is an Ionic Compound yes C3H8 = propane and is Covalent yes BaCl2 = Barium diChloride and is Ionic barium chloride (Only use Greek prefixes with compounds of two nonmetals) Ba3P2 = Barium diphosphide and is Ionic barium phosphide (See above), and it's more covalent than ionic NaO2 = Sodium Oxide and is covalent NaO2 is sodium superoxide, rare. ionic P8I3 = Phosphorous Iodide and is Covalent Never heard of ti. I think you have a typo. There is PI3, phosphorous triiodide, which is covalent. NH3 = Nitrogen Hydride and is Covalent NH3 is ammonia, and its covalent Na2S = Sodium Sulfide and is ionic yes, but its only about 50/50 ionic/covalent Now for this next set he gave us the Name of the compound and I have to figure out the chemical formula and the type of compound. Sodium Oxide = Na02 = Covalent No Na2O, more ionic Trisulfur Dioxide = S302 = Covalent Yes, but not a common compound Pentane = C5H12 = Covalent yes Calcium Nitride = CaN2 = Ionic Ca3N2 is calcium nitride Potassium Carbide = KC = Ionic K2C2 is potassium carbide. carbide ion is C2^2-

did you mean calcium carbide? CaC2
or calcium carbonate? CaCO3
i dont know that i have heard of carbonide but i could be wrong
