Answer to Question #115130 in Inorganic Chemistry for Himansu Sekhar Mohanta

Question

Example of suboxide

Answer 1

Answer:

Suboxides are a class of oxides wherein the electropositive element is in excess relative to "normal" oxides.

So, for example Cs₁₁O₃, Rb₉O₂, B₆O and C₃O₂ are suboxides of Cs, Rb, B and C correspondingly (Cs₂O, Rb₂O, B₂O₃ and CO₂ are corresponding normal oxides).
