Dihydrogen monoxide parody oxygen atom. Literally, the term "dihydrogen monoxide" means "two hydrogen, one oxygen", consistent with its molecular formula: the prefix "" in "dihydrogen" means "two", the prefix "" in "monoxide" means "one", and an oxide is an oxygen atom attached to another atom in an ionic compound. Using chemical nomenclature, various names for water are in common use within the scientific community. Some such names include "hydrogen oxide", as well as an alkali name of "hydrogen hydroxide", and several acid names such as "hydric acid", "hydroxic acid", "hydroxyl acid", and "hydroxilic acid". The term "hydroxyl acid" used in the original text
Graphite oxide Graphite oxide Graphite oxide, formerly called graphitic oxide or graphitic acid, is a compound of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen in variable ratios, obtained by treating graphite with strong oxidizers. The maximally oxidized bulk product is a yellow solid with C:O ratio between 2.1 and 2.9, that retains the layer structure of graphite but with a much larger and irregular spacing. The bulk material disperses in basic solutions to yield monomolecular sheets, known as graphene oxide by analogy to graphene, the single-layer form of graphite. Graphene oxide sheets have been used to prepare strong paper-like materials, membranes, thin films, and composite
