How was oxygen named by lavoisier
With words
because they named it
The naming of covalent compounds follows a convention where the first element is named first, followed by the second element with an "-ide" suffix. In the case of Cl2O, it is named dichlorine monoxide because there are two chlorine atoms and one oxygen atom. Whereas F2O is named oxygen difluoride because there are two fluorine atoms and one oxygen atom.

Bacterias that do not need oxygen are called anaerobic.
An oxide is formed when something bonds with oxygen. Strontium oxide is named because it is an oxide of the element Strontium.
