Page 1: Chemical Oxides and Valency States

This page presents a comprehensive compilation of oxide formulas and their corresponding chemical names, organized by element and valency state. The content covers both simple and complex oxide formations, demonstrating how different elements combine with oxygen.

Definition: An oxide is a chemical compound containing at least one oxygen atom and one other element in its chemical formula.

Example: Silicon dioxide (SiO₂) demonstrates how silicon with a valency of IV combines with oxygen.

Vocabulary:

• Wartościowość refers to the combining power or valency of an element
• Tlenek is the Polish term for oxide

Highlight: The document shows how elements can have multiple valency states, such as nitrogen forming oxides in states I, II, III, IV, and V.

Notable compounds covered include:

• Simple metal oxides like Na₂O (Na wartościowość), MgO (Wartościowość magnezu)
• Transition metal oxides with multiple valency states (CrO, Cr₂O₃, CrO₃)
• Non-metal oxides including sulfur oxides (Siarka wartościowość) and nitrogen oxides (Wartościowość azotu)
• Halogens like fluorine (Fluor wartościowość) forming various oxide compounds

The page serves as a valuable reference for understanding Wszystkie tlenki (all oxides) and their systematic naming conventions, particularly useful for students studying chemical nomenclature.
