See for a list. DISCUSSION In some cases, a mixed oxide ''X'' ''Y'' oxide can be contrasted with a compound ''X'' ''Y''ate. In most cases, common sense can prevail. For example, the compound Sodium Nitrate is not described as 'sodium nitrogen oxide'; even less so, would it be called 'nitrogen sodate'. With this, we have some common sense, that the compound is a Nitrate , not a 'sodate', and not even a mixed oxide. In some cases, the conclusion is not so obvious. For example, some compounds are called 'titanates'; are these 'titanates', or maybe ''X'' titanium oxides? In this case, the result depends on some knowledge of structure: in general, ''X''ates have the ''X''ate Ion ; a mixed oxide will not have such. |
