The structures of binary oxides

The structures of these compounds may be compared with those of the corresponding disulphides, which are set out in a similar way at the beginning of Chapter 17. 

After noting some suboxides which are peculiar to Rb and Cs we shall describe the crystal structures of metal oxides in groups in the following order M3O, M2O, MO, MO2, MO3, MO4 M2O3, M2OS, M2O7, M3O4, and miscellaneous oxides M O, . The remainder of the chapter is devoted to brief surveys of the oxides of certain metals which present points of special interest.
