Why the compounds of fluorine with oxygen are called fluorides of oxygen and not oxides of fluorine?

∙ 11y ago
As fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, fluorine acts as the electron acceptor in the compounds with oxygen. As fluorine becomes partially negative charged and positive for oxygen, they are called fluorides.
