Dioxide is a compound of two oxygen elements.

Di is latin and it means two. So whenever di is before another word it usually means "two" of that.

Oxide is just a fancy way of saying oxygen. When put together it means two oxygen.

There is no entry for dioxide on the Periodic Table. Dioxide is the name applied to two oxygen atoms in a covalently bonded molecule. An example is CO2 carbon dioxide. However, oxygen is listed on the periodic table. It is element number 8 with the symbol O.
