1. Monoxide

   A monoxide is any oxide containing only one atom of oxygen. A well known monoxide is carbon monoxide; see carbon monoxide poisoning. The prefix mono (Greek for "one") is used in chemical nomenclature. In proper nomenclature, the prefix is not always used in compounds with one oxygen atom. Generally, when the oxygen is bonded to a nonmetal, the prefix mono is used. However when the oxygen atom bonds to a metal, the prefix is dropped. For instance, in the compound K2O, potassium (K) is a metal and therefore its proper name is potassium oxide, rather than potassium monoxide. Among monoxides, carbon monoxide is neutral, germanium(II) oxide is distinctly acidic, and both tin(II) oxide and lead(II) oxide are amphoteric.

1. Monoxide

   A monoxide is any oxide containing just one atom of oxygen in the molecule. For example, Potassium oxide, has only one atom of oxygen, and is thus a monoxide. Water is also a monoxide; see dihydrogen monoxide hoax. A well known monoxide is carbon monoxide; see carbon monoxide poisoning. Most of the members of the Periodic Table form oxides when oxidized. There are two main types of oxides: monoxides and dioxides. Monoxides such as silicon monoxide only exist at high temperatures. Among monoxides, CO is neutral, GeO is distinctly acidic, and SnO and PbO are amphoteric.

Examples of monoxide in a Sentence

1. James Reese:

   There is some discontent between factions in the camps, and the weather is brutal, people are trying to sleep in cars, and carbon monoxide poisoning is a concern. There are over 100 vehicles in snow banks crashed on the side of the road. People are trying to leave but don’t know where to go. Visibility is about 50 feet. If you aren’t ready for this environment, you will die.

2. Mieczyslaw Kaczmarczyk:

   Inside there are highly effective, catalytic gas burners which burn the gas superbly. Their unique feature is that the combustion of gas occurs at a very high temperature, about 800 degrees (Celsius). Therefore the gas burns completely, it burns very accurately, and harmful gases such as carbon monoxide or nitrogen oxides are not produced.

3. Jennifer McCormick:

   Since you cannot smell or see carbon monoxide, taking the appropriate steps and asking these important questions prior to signing anything is extremely important.

4. Sylvestre Lacour:

   Our analysis showed that HR 8799e has an atmosphere containing far more carbon monoxide than methane -- something not expected from equilibrium chemistry, we can best explain this surprising result with high vertical winds within the atmosphere preventing the carbon monoxide from reacting with hydrogen to form methane.

5. Keith Pinkerton:

   If you’re using a portable generator, it needs to be a minimum of 30 feet away from the house while it’s running to eliminate the possibilities of carbon monoxide poisoning.
