What does OXIDE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A chemical compound formed by the combination of oxygen with another element.
Oxides form whenever oxygen reacts with a metal or nonmetal, producing familiar substances such as iron oxide, better known as rust, or carbon dioxide, a gas essential to plant life. Some oxides are stable protective layers, like the thin aluminium oxide coating that keeps aluminium from corroding further, while others are reactive gases involved in combustion and industrial processes. Chemists classify oxides as acidic, basic or amphoteric depending on how they behave when they react with water or with each other. The word oxide is built from oxygen, reflecting the element that every oxide contains.
How OXIDE is used
A standard chemistry term, used for compounds ranging from rust to industrial gases and ceramics.
- Red iron oxide gave the old railings their rusty colour.
- Plants absorb carbon dioxide, an oxide of carbon, during photosynthesis.
- The engineer measured the thickness of the oxide layer on the metal.
