trioxide
Triple oxygen compound
A trioxide is a chemical compound containing three oxygen atoms bonded to another element.
The term appears most often in chemistry: sulfur trioxide, nitrogen trioxide, arsenic trioxide.
The prefix tri- distinguishes these from compounds with different oxygen counts—monoxide (one) or dioxide (two).
