This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1881 edition. Excerpt: ...of oxygen or other non-metallic element. Where there are two or more atoms of the metalloid present in a compound, the distinction is marked by the use of a prefix to the second name indicating the number. The two oxides of barium, BaO and Ba02 are thus known respectively as barium monoxide and dioxide. Occasionally the prefixes proto and per are attached to the second name; proto to the compound in which the lower proportion of the non-metallic element occurs, per to that containing the higher: barium monoxide and dioxide become barium protoxide and peroxide. There is one series of oxides in which there are two atoms of the metal to three of oxygen as Fe203; these are sometimes termed sesquioxides: the name is, however, dying out. Where there are several binary compounds of the same elements, or where the molecule is a complex one, the number of atoms of each element is indicated by a prefix thus, Triferric tetroxide, Fe304. In binary compounds among the non-metals, the termination ide is usually given in preference to oxygen, chlorine, and sulphur; thus we have carbon oxides and sulphides, phosphorus chlorides, and chlorine oxides. The most important compounds containing more than two elements are those produced by the union of water with oxides, forming acids and hydrates. In experimenting with oxygen, the student will have observed that certain oxides dissolved in water turn litmus solution red, while others restore to the reddened solution its blue colour. This reaction serves to divide the various oxides into two important classes. Those in the first series are found to have a sour taste, and.consequently receive the name of acid, from their being produced by combination of various elements with oxygen, which thus received its name, it...
