oxy fluoride

[Eng.oxy( gen ), and fluoride.] Chem. (pl.): Compounds analogous to the oxy chlorides. ox--ġen, s. [Gr. oxys, and gen-, base of gennao =to produce.] existing in three state in the atmosphere combination in the ocean. It forms about one-fifth of the former and eight-ninths of the latter. It is also present in the great majority of substances forming the earth's crust, and is the most abundant of all the elements. It was discovered in 1774 by Symbol, wt., 16. A dyad element Scheele in Sweden and Priest ley in England inde pendently, but the name was given by Lavoisier some time after. It can be obtained pure by heating black oxide of manganese, or a mixture of this oxide with pota ic chlorate in a retort, and collecting the gas over water. When pure it is without color, taste, or smell. It is the sustaining principle of animal life and of the ordinary phenomena of combustion. Phosphorus and ignited charcoal burn in it with great brilliancy, and a piece of watch-spring, having at the end some lighted sulphur, exhibits in oxygen a beautiful phenomenon of combustion. It is a little heavier than atmospheric air, specific gravity=1.1. One hundred cubic inches of oxygen at mean temperature and pre ure weigh 34.29 grains. Under the influence of cold and high pre ure it has been reduced to the liquid state. It enters into combination in various ways, taking the place of hydrogen in the radicals of compounds formed on any of the types, HCl, H2O, H2N. giving rise to oxy chlorides, oxy iodides, OxyLi trides, . ox'--gen-āte, v . t . [English oxygen; -ate.] To unite or combine with oxygen; to oxidate. öx'-ý-gen-āt-ěd, pa . par . or a . [OXYGENATE.] oxygenated-water, s . Chem.: Water holding peroxide of hydrogen in solution. öx-ý-gen-ā-tion, s. [OXYGENATE.] Chem.: The same as OXIDATION (q. v.). ox'-ý-gen-ā-tõr, s. [English oxygen at (e); -or.] ox'-ý-crāte, subst . [Gr. oxykraton , from oxys = sharp, and kerannymi to mix; Fr. oxycrat .] A An oxid at or (q. v.). mixture of six parts water and one vinegar. ox-ý-gen-iz-a-ble, adj. [English oxygeniz (e); ox-ý-cum-in-ăm-Ic, a . [Eng. oxy ( gen ); cum--able.] Capable of being oxygenized. in ( ic ), am ( monia ), and suff. ic .] Containing or derived from oxygen, cuminic acid, and ammonia. oxy cum in a mic-acid, s . Chem.: NH2(C19H10O) HO. Obtained by treating nitrocuminic acid with iron filings and acetic acid, digesting with carbonate of soda, precipitating with acetate of lead, and decomposing with sulphy dric gas. It forms colorle needles sparingly soluble in cold water, but easily in hot water, ether, and alcohol; forms crystalline compounds both with acids and bases.
