monoxide
One oxygen compound
Monoxide is a chemical compound containing one oxygen atom bonded to another element.
Carbon monoxide, the most commonly referenced, is a colorless, odorless gas produced by incomplete combustion—dangerous because it binds to hemoglobin and prevents oxygen transport in the blood.
