Notes
(Richard Willis)
Element, with the symbol O and atomic weight of 16
The oxide forms of metals, and oxygen-present molecular forms in general, are by far the most common forms used in ceramics, for two major reasons: most ceramic-usable materials occur naturally in “oxide” form; and the presence of oxygen as a chemical part of the material (as its “internal, built-in” fuel supply) greatly aids and abets fusion — subsequently, whenever there is a choice to be made, the oxide form of the desired material is so opted for that to do otherwi
se merits a very strong reason. Commonly used forms are the “-ides” and “-ates”. see water
