An oxide containing three atoms of oxygen in its molecule or empirical formula.
‘Sulfur is converted to sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide, and nitrogen compounds are converted to nitrogen oxides.’
‘The nanoparticles are mixed with acetylene black, which makes the mixture electrically conductive, and molybdenum trioxide, which supplies the oxygen.’
‘The chemical toxicity of inhaled uranium trioxide (uranyl oxide) gas vapor fumes is much worse - about a million times worse - than the radiation from inhalation of any of the other oxides.’
‘Boron reacts with oxygen at room temperature to form boron trioxide, which forms a thin film on the surface to prevent further reaction with oxygen.’
‘Unstable nitrogen oxides, which we did not measure, including peroxynitrite, nitrogen dioxide, and dinitrogen trioxide, are important mediators of oxidation and nitration reactions in vivo.’
