What's the difference between oxide and suboxide?

Oxide


Definition:

  • (n.) A binary compound of oxygen with an atom or radical, or a compound which is regarded as binary; as, iron oxide, ethyl oxide, nitrogen oxide, etc.

Example Sentences:

Suboxide


Definition:

  • (n.) An oxide containing a relatively small amount of oxygen, and less than the normal proportion; as, potassium suboxide, K4O.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) It was found that aliphatic tertiary amines form colors upon reaction with carbon suboxide in the absence of acetic anhydride, whereas aromatic tertiary amines require the presence of acetic anhydride.
