Monoxide PbO are amphoteric. Monoxide A monoxide is any oxide containing just one atom of oxygen in the molecule. For example, Potassium oxide (KO), has only one atom of oxygen, and is thus a monoxide. Water (HO) is also a monoxide; see dihydrogen monoxide hoax. A well known monoxide is carbon monoxide (CO); see carbon monoxide poisoning. Most of the members of the Periodic Table form oxides when oxidized. There are two main types of oxides: monoxides and dioxides. Monoxides (generally MO) such as silicon monoxide (SiO) only exist at high temperatures. Among monoxides, CO is neutral, GeO is distinctly acidic,
Dihydrogen cation Dihydrogen cation The hydrogen molecular ion, dihydrogen cation, or , is the simplest molecular ion. It is composed of two positively charged protons and one negatively charged electron, and can be formed from ionization of a neutral hydrogen molecule. It is of great historical and theoretical interest because, having only one electron, the electronic Schrödinger equation for the system (in the clamped-nuclei approximation) can be solved in a relatively straightforward way due to the lack of electron–electron repulsion (electron correlation). The analytical solutions for the electronic energy eigenvalues are a "generalization" of the Lambert W function which can be obtained
