释义 | -idesuffixα. 1700s– -ide. β. 1700s– -id. Chemistry. Categories » Originally, added to the stem of the name of an element to form names of simple compounds of that element with another element or a radical, as oxide, chloride, nitride, phosphide, sulphide (and thence in more complex formations, as hydroxide, oxychloride, and with numerical prefixes, as dioxide, trisulphide, tetrachloride). Later, added to stems representing compounds or groups to form names of simple derivatives, as acetylide, anilide, cyanide, and spec. in names of glycosides formed from sugars, as furanoside, galactoside. Also used more widely (esp. in organic chemistry) in generic names of various types of compound, as amide, anhydride, imide, peptide, proteid, saccharide.With binary compounds, following the model of oxide, the suffix -ide is conventionally attached to the (contracted) name of the more electronegative of the two elements: thus a compound of nitrogen and oxygen is called a nitrogen oxide rather than an oxygen nitride, whereas a compound of fluorine and oxygen is called an oxygen fluoride rather than a fluorine oxide. So, following the electronegativity criterion, we have chlorine oxide but sodium chloride, carbon disulphide but tungsten carbide, hydrogen bromide but nickel hydride.
