carbonide

Rfv-sense "carbon dioxide", originally added (with wrong formatting) as Special:Diff/64321356. — surjection ⟨??⟩ 09:40, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

I am no chemist, so it is very hard for me to judge whether what I find supports this definition, or whether it is just the "carbide" sense. I put a sample of the possibilities I was looking at on the citations page, and would appreciate it if someone with some actual knowledge of organic chemistry could look at them.

In the 19th century carbonide oxide must have mean carbon monoxide, as seen in the 1898 quotation and this quotation: "Of the two gases, carbonic anhydrid (CO2) and carbonide oxide (CO), the last (CO) is the latently hotter ... yet the latently hotter carbonic oxide (CO) contains less of the latently hot element (O)"[1]. Note two names for CO. I suspect many of the uses of carbonide are either mistakes or a generalized adjectival form of carbon prior to modern rules of chemical naming. 1981 and 2019 uses are as carbonate.
