stannous
Of tin compounds
Stannous means containing tin, specifically tin in its lower oxidation state.
The word appears almost exclusively in chemical contexts: stannous chloride, stannous fluoride.
The latter is a common ingredient in toothpaste, where it helps prevent cavities.
Stannic refers to tin in its higher oxidation state.
