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
Tin(IV) Oxide Tin(IV) Oxide Tin(IV) Oxide, also known as stannic oxide, is the inorganic compound with the formula SnO. The mineral form of SnO is called cassiterite, and this is the main ore of tin. With many other names, this oxide of tin is an important material in tin chemistry. It is a colourless, diamagnetic, amphoteric solid. Tin(IV) oxide crystallises with the rutile structure. As such the tin atoms are six coordinate and the oxygen atoms three coordinate. SnO is usually regarded as an oxygen-deficient n-type semiconductor. Hydrous forms of SnO have been described as stannic acid. Such materials appear to be
