1. dioxide

   An oxide () is a chemical compound containing at least one oxygen atom and one other element in its chemical formula. "Oxide" itself is the dianion (anion bearing a net charge of –2) of oxygen, an O2– ion with oxygen in the oxidation state of −2. Most of the Earth's crust consists of oxides. Even materials considered pure elements often develop an oxide coating. For example, aluminium foil develops a thin skin of Al2O3 (called a passivation layer) that protects the foil from further oxidation.

Examples of Dioxide in a Sentence

1. Robert Jackson:

   For carbon dioxide, we've always known about power plants and smokestacks and things like that ; but with methane, until recent years, we didn't understand how much an influence a small number of large sources have really had, we didn't understand how long the tail was and how important the super-emitters were for reducing emissions.

2. Tarik Benmarhnia:

   There are a lot of evidence that's been produced in the last few years showing that even at the lowest levels of air pollution, including PM 2.5 and nitrogen dioxide, there is still a huge impact at the population level.

3. Geosciences Professor Bogdan Onac:

4. Li Xiang:

   Because we aggressively reduced coal consumption in the first quarter of the year, the level of sulfur dioxide in the period reached a historical low.

5. Andrew Schurer:

   The eruption injected a huge amount of sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere, which would have quickly spread across the world, oxidising to form sulphate aerosols, these volcanic aerosols reduce net shortwave radiation causing widespread, long lasting surface cooling. They also lead to a reduction in global rainfall, while wettening some dry regions and causing dynamic changes in the large-scale circulation of both ocean and atmosphere.
