O²⁻

An oxide is a chemical compound containing one or more oxygen atoms linked to other atoms by chemical bonds. Oxides can be formed by the reaction of a metal or non-metal with oxygen. Metal oxides generally have basic properties, while non-metal oxides can be acidic or neutral. Examples of metal oxides include iron oxide (FeO), copper oxide (CuO), and magnesium oxide (MgO). Examples of non-metal oxides include carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen oxide (NO2). Oxides have many practical applications and are used in a wide range of industries, including construction, electronics, and manufacturing.
