What does OXIME mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
Any of a class of chemical compounds formed when hydroxylamine reacts with an aldehyde or a ketone.
An oxime is a compound built around a carbon atom double-bonded to a nitrogen atom that carries a hydroxyl group, a structure produced when the chemical hydroxylamine reacts with an aldehyde or a ketone. Chemists use this reaction as a standard way to identify or convert aldehydes and ketones, since the resulting oxime is often a solid that is easier to isolate and test than the starting compound. Different oximes vary widely in their other properties, but they all share this same core chemical link between carbon and nitrogen.
How OXIME is used
A technical chemistry term, used when describing this reaction and the resulting class of compounds rather than in everyday speech.
- The lab prepared an oxime to help identify the unknown ketone.

- The oxime melted at a sharp, well-defined temperature.
- Chemists purified the oxime before running further tests on it.
