This shit needs to be taken more seriously. According to WHO dihydrogen monoxide is responsible for 372,000 deaths worldwide each year.

Not to mention the number of people who drown in it, now that's a gruesome death.

it's dihydrogen oxide you fuck
you don't say monocarbon dioxide
if it's just one, you don't say the mono

carbon monoxide..

>Carbon Monoxide

You do if it's the second term, e.g. carbon monoxide

This, you don't put prefixes on the first if there's only one

hehe


would you like some dihydrogen monoxide for that burn?

saved

Prolonged exposure to it's solid form can cause severe tissue damage

It's the main component of acid rain

youre a fucking retard

Do you even know what "oxide" is

h2o2: hydrogen peroxide, per- prefix indicating that it is not the stable stoichometry

thus h2o should just be hydrogen oxide

It contains hydrogen.. They make bombs out of that shit, and it is leaking into your water table and now comes out of your faucet!

only "mono" is omitted, and only if its the first term, you fuckwit.

It's dihydrogen monoxide because the hydrogen and oxygen share a molecular bond, not an ionic one.

"mono" and "di" are omitted if they are not necessary.

that's a quirk of the English language, not proper nomenclature.

No.

thats a quirk of chemistry naming, per- being the opposite of hypo-, though hydrogen hyperoxide would sound badass

lol, big words scare dumb people.
