- Oxygen - n. - A colorless, tasteless, odorless, gaseous element occurring in the free state in the atmosphere, of which it forms about 23 per cent by weight and about 21 per cent by volume, being slightly heavier than nitrogen. Symbol O. Atomic weight 15.96.
- Oxygen - n. - Chlorine used in bleaching.
- Oxygenate - v. t. - To unite, or cause to combine, with oxygen; to treat with oxygen; to oxidize; as, oxygenated water (hydrogen dioxide).
- Oxygenated - imp. & p. p. - of Oxygenate
- Oxygenating - p. pr. & vb. n. - of Oxygenate
- Oxygenation - n. - The act or process of combining or of treating with oxygen; oxidation.
- Oxygenator - n. - An oxidizer.
- Oxygenic - a. - Pertaining to, containing, or resembling, oxygen; producing oxygen.
- Oxygenium - n. - The technical name of oxygen.
- Oxygenizable - a. - Oxidizable.
- Oxygenize - v. t. - To oxidize.
- Oxygenized - imp. & p. p. - of Oxygenize
- Oxygenizement - n. - Oxidation.
- Oxygenizing - p pr. & vb. n. - of Oxygenize
- Oxygenous - a. - Oxygenic.
- Element - n. - One of the ultimate, undecomposable constituents of any kind of matter. Specifically: (Chem.) A substance which cannot be decomposed into different kinds of matter by any means at present employed; as, the elements of water are oxygen and hydrogen.
- Liquefaction - n. - The act, process, or method, of reducing a gas or vapor to a liquid by means of cold or pressure; as, the liquefaction of oxygen or hydrogen.
- Perchloric - a. - Pertaining to, or designating, the highest oxygen acid (HClO4), of chlorine; -- called also hyperchloric.
- Compound - n. - A union of two or more ingredients in definite proportions by weight, so combined as to form a distinct substance; as, water is a compound of oxygen and hydrogen.
- Dyad - a. - Having a valence or combining power of two; capable of being substituted for, combined with, or replaced by, two atoms of hydrogen; as, oxygen and calcium are dyad elements. See Valence.
- Deutoxide - n. - A compound containing in the molecule two atoms of oxygen united with some other element or radical; -- usually called dioxide, or less frequently, binoxide.
- Bude burner - - A burner consisting of two or more concentric Argand burners (the inner rising above the outer) and a central tube by which oxygen gas or common air is supplied.
- Semioxygenated - a. - Combined with oxygen only in part.
- Air - n. - Any aeriform body; a gas; as, oxygen was formerly called vital air.
- Bude light - - A light in which high illuminating power is obtained by introducing a jet of oxygen gas or of common air into the center of a flame fed with coal gas or with oil.
- Hydroxyl - n. - A compound radical, or unsaturated group, HO, consisting of one atom of hydrogen and one of oxygen. It is a characteristic part of the hydrates, the alcohols, the oxygen acids, etc.
- Suroxidate - v. t. - To combine with oxygen so as to form a suroxide or peroxide.
- Venous - a. - Contained in the veins, or having the same qualities as if contained in the veins, that is, having a dark bluish color and containing an insufficient amount of oxygen so as no longer to be fit for oxygenating the tissues; -- said of the blood, and opposed to arterial.
- Aerobies - n. pl. - Microorganisms which live in contact with the air and need oxygen for their growth; as the microbacteria which form on the surface of putrefactive fluids.
- Carbohydrate - n. - One of a group of compounds including the sugars, starches, and gums, which contain six (or some multiple of six) carbon atoms, united with a variable number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, but with the two latter always in proportion as to form water; as dextrose, C6H12O6.
- Carbon - n. - An elementary substance, not metallic in its nature, which is present in all organic compounds. Atomic weight 11.97. Symbol C. it is combustible, and forms the base of lampblack and charcoal, and enters largely into mineral coals. In its pure crystallized state it constitutes the diamond, the hardest of known substances, occuring in monometric crystals like the octahedron, etc. Another modification is graphite, or blacklead, and in this it is soft, and occurs in hexagonal prisms or tables. When united with oxygen it forms carbon dioxide, commonly called carbonic acid, or carbonic oxide, according to the proportions of the oxygen; when united with hydrogen, it forms various compounds called hydrocarbons. Compare Diamond, and Graphite.
- Determination - n. - The act, process, or result of any accurate measurement, as of length, volume, weight, intensity, etc.; as, the determination of the ohm or of the wave length of light; the determination of the salt in sea water, or the oxygen in the air.
- Dioxide - n. - An oxide containing two atoms of oxygen in each molecule; binoxide.
- Calcium - n. - An elementary substance; a metal which combined with oxygen forms lime. It is of a pale yellow color, tenacious, and malleable. It is a member of the alkaline earth group of elements. Atomic weight 40. Symbol Ca.
- Hydracid - n. - An acid containing hydrogen; -- sometimes applied to distinguish acids like hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and the like, which contain no oxygen, from the oxygen acids or oxacids. See Acid.
- Monoxide - n. - An oxide containing one atom of oxygen in each molecule; as, barium monoxide.
- Breath - n. - The air inhaled and exhaled in respiration; air which, in the process of respiration, has parted with oxygen and has received carbonic acid, aqueous vapor, warmth, etc.
- Drummond light - - A very intense light, produced by turning two streams of gas, one oxygen and the other hydrogen, or coal gas, in a state of ignition, upon a ball of lime; or a stream of oxygen gas through a flame of alcohol upon a ball or disk of lime; -- called also oxycalcium light, or lime light.
- Perbromic - a. - Pertaining to, or designating, the highest oxygen acid, HBrO4, of bromine.
- Oxychloric - a. - Of, pertaining to, or designating in general, certain compounds containing oxygen and chlorine.
