In many cases we just add "oxide" to the name (like rust is iron oxide), though there are also oxalate, and a few others. Mostly it depends on how the oxygen combines with it, whether there are some hydrogens hanging off the ends, what the base chemical is, how long or involved the molecule was before the oxygen combined with it, how drastically the oxygen changed the physical properties, whether the new combination already has a common name that doesn't involve "oxide",...

What property does water have that allows it to dissolve many substances?
Water's excellent solvent properties are due to its polarity. The oxygen atom has a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atoms have a partial positive charge. Due to this dipole moment, water can easily solvate many polar substances.
Are substances that test positive with the Ames test necessarily carciongenic in humans?
The substances that are test positive with Ames test may or may not be carcinogenic for humans. Similarly, some substances that cause cancer in laboratory animals do not give a positive result Ames test. It is not possible to decide the carcinogenicity of any substances only depending on the Ames test.
Do compressed cylinders of medical oxygen contain ephedrine or any bronchial dilators?
They shouldn't. A person taking the oxygen could have an adverse reaction.
What can go together with oxygen?
Carbon to form carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Hydrogen to form water. Nitrogen to form nitrous oxide and nitric oxide Sulphur to form sulphur dioxide. Iron to form ferric oxide (rust) Aluminium to form aluminum oxide and many more
What elements can be broken down into any simpler substances?
No.An elementcan't be broken down into a simpler substance, without changing its chemical nature.
Are any of these substances unnatural oxygen water neon ozone helium?
All these substances are natural.
What is oxygen depleting substances?
An oxygen depleting substance is any material which consumes oxygen in the mixture which it occurs. In water pollution this is usually an organic material.
Are hydrogen and oxygen simple or complex substances?
They are elements. You can't get any simpler than that.
What combinations could for a combustion reaction?
Any flammable or combustible material in any combination, plus oxygen. So you could have quite a long list.
What substances burn faster in oxygen?
Any substance that burns in air is likely to burn faster in pure oxygen, if all other conditions are equal.
How do carcinogens affect people?
They are any substances that are known to directly cause cancer.
Can oxygen be ignited by a space heater?
Technically, no, but there still is a fire hazard. Oxygen itself is not flammable. It does, however support the burning of flammable substances; this is how fires burn normally. Oxygen tanks provide pure oxygen (nearly 5 times the natural concentration), which means that any flammable substances in contact with it will be more easily ignited and will burn hotter and faster if a fire starts.
Do any other planets have oxygen in their atmospheres?
Earth is the only planet known to have a significant amount of oxygen molecules in its atmosphere.
Each known element blank be broken down into any simpler substances?
Impossible by chemiacal methods
What are the properties of simple covalent substances such as chlorine oxygen and water?
The properties of simple covalent substances such as chlorine, oxygen and water are that it has low melting and boiling points. This is because the weak intermolecular forces break down easily. Secondly, another property is the simple covalent substances are non-conductive therefore the substances with a simple molecular structure do not conduct electricity. This is because they do not have any free electrons or an overall electric charge.
Do all materials contain oxygen and silicon?
No: for example, none of the other elements contains any amount of these two elements. Other large classes of substances free from oxygen and silicon are halides and hydrocarbons.
Why you can separate a mixture without any change in the identity of the substances?
Why a mixture can be seperated without any changes in the identity of the substance is unknown publicly. However, it is known that the seperation of these substances usually involve the process of mechanical filtering or decanting.
