Why isnt OF2 an oxide?
Can you explain to me why OF2 isn't considered an oxide?
Well, technically speaking, OF2 is considered an oxide. The "O" in OF2 represents oxygen, which is a key component of many oxides. However, there are some chemists and scientists who don't consider OF2 an oxide because it's not a metal oxide like many other oxides that we typically encounter.
