† oxyˈsulphate Chem.
An obs. name for a metallic sulphate containing a larger proportion of oxygen, as oxysulphate of iron = ferric sulphate.
| 1802 Med. Jrnl. VIII. 550 It has been proposed to distinguish them [iron sulphates] by terming that salt which contains the metal more highly oxydated, an oxysulphat. 1815 Henry Elem. Chem. (ed. 7) II. 109 This salt has been called, but not with strict propriety, oxy-sulphate. Its legitimate name would be sulphate of peroxide of iron; but, as this is inconvenient from its length, it may be called the red sulphate of iron. |
So
oxyˈsulphide, a compound of an element or positive compound radical with oxygen and sulphur; generally restricted to compounds of the oxide and sulphide of a metal.
† oxyˈsulphion Obs. ‘Daniell's term for the acid compound of an oxy-salt containing sulphur which is set free at the positive pole of a galvanic battery, but which cannot exist in a free condition’ (
Syd. Soc. Lex.);
= the group SO
4, now called
sulphion.
