pentoxide
Oxygen-heavy chemical compound
A pentoxide is a chemical compound containing five oxygen atoms bonded to another element.
The term appears most often in chemistry for specific oxides: phosphorus pentoxide (a powerful drying agent), vanadium pentoxide (used in industrial catalysis), and nitrogen pentoxide.
The reaction produces dinitrogen pentoxide as a byproduct.
