Hydrogen Oxide, what is it?
Kevin Greenhill
Does anyone know what hydrogen oxide is and where I can find out more
about it?
Thanks for your help.

It is one of the most deadly chemicals known to man. It's more commenly
known as Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO). There is a vigorous campaign to ban
this vile substance. Check out..

for details. But be warned, it's not for the squeamish.
I agree with W.C. Fields when asked why he never drank the stuff.

I agree..it should be handled with caution....it can be lethal if ingested
in sufficient quantities. Further, immersion in hydrogen oxide for more
than 5 minutes is usually fatal. It is also widely known that frozen
hydrogen oxide can be deadly if dropped from hot air ballons.

Actually, hydrogen hydroxide would be water :)

actually, only water (h2o) can be hydrogen oxide.
h2o2 is not hydrogen oxide, it is hydrogen peroxide.
o2- is oxide
(o2)2- is peroxide
(o2)- is superoxide

Dear Craig,
You forgot another oxyde of water : H2O3, HOOOH (I don't know his common
name anymore). Very recently, I "saw" an article in the litterature
dealing with it (I even don't know if this molecule has been isolated
and/or characterized or if this article was a theoretical study) but I
couldn't retrieve it.
Yet, this article interests me again. If anyone has this reference,
please be kind and write to me!

All information about this compound is secret, including the fact that it
exists. Where did you hear about it? Sorry, but I have to report this to my
superiors. I'm not sure what action they will take.

And another one - trihydroxyl. It can only be synthesized at this time of
year. It's formula is HO-HO-HO.

Oh My God!
Are you referring to the most deadly dihydrogen monoxide?
If so, keep away and don't bring it up around here again.

I ran across this info this past summer.
*********************************************************
* Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide - The Invisible Killer *
*********************************************************
Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills
uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused
by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers do not end there.
Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms
of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, a bloated
feeling. nausea, vomiting, and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who
have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.
Dihydrogen Monoxide:
* is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain
* contributes to the "greenhouse effect"
* may cause severe burns
* contributes to the erosion of our landscapes
* accelerates corrosion of many metals
* may cause catastrophic electrical failures
* can decrease the effectiveness of automobile brakes
* is found in excised tumors of cancer patients
Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions !
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream,
lake, and reservoir in America today. But the infection is global, and the
contaminant has even been found in Antarctic Ice. DHMO has caused billions
of dollars of property damage in the Midwest, recently in California, and
in the coastal regions of the Southeast.
Despite the obvious danger, DHMO is often used:
* as an industrial solvent and coolant
* in nuclear power plants
* in the production of Styrofoam
* as a fire retardant
* in many forms of cruel animal research
* in the distribution of pesticides
* as an additive and filler in certain junk foods and other food products
* even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical
Companies routinely dump waste DHMO into rivers and oceans, and nothing can
be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on
wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford it any longer!
The Horror Must Be Stopped!
The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or
use of this hazardous chemical due to its "importance to the economic
health of this nation". In fact, the navy and other military organizations
are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar
devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of
military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly
sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large
quantities for later use.
It's Not Too Late!
Act NOW to prevent further miasmatic spreading. Find out more about this
dangerous chemical. What you don't know can hurt you and others throughout
the world!

And you shouldn't drink it - fish fuck in it.

:) This seems eerily familiar as that old dihydrogen monoxide joke.
Seriously, is hydrogen oxide really the same as dihydrogen monoxide (ie,
water)? Which is the "better" (more accepted, more accurate, or the
standard, etc.) name?

There is technically a difference between hydrogen oxide and dihydrogen monoxide. I would think when someone was referring to hydrogen oxide, they would be talking about an ion known as hydroxide (OH-). In regard to ingestion, yes it would be a bad thing to do. Of course, dihydrogen monoxide is called water. I don't know anybody going around using the chemical name. Hope this helps.

I've barely ever heard it referred to as dihydrogen monoxide either.

... hmm.. i thought hydrogen oxide was originally called
alcholic hydrogen. when did they change that ;)

Scroll down to humor and find it there. I realize full well that it is
miscategorized in humor, but I didn't feel comfortable in leading off my
