Inorganic Compounds

Titanium dioxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula TiO₂. It's a white solid that is insoluble in water. Titanium dioxide is found naturally as rutile, anatase, and brookite polymorphs.

Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula ZnO. It's a white powder that is insoluble in water. While it can occur naturally as the mineral zincite, most zinc oxide used commercially is produced synthetically.

Fluorosulfuric acid is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula HSO₃F. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a stinging odor that fumes readily in moist air. It is recognized as one of the strongest acids commercially available.

Sulfamic acid, also known as amidosulfuric acid, is a strong inorganic acid with the chemical formula H₃NSO₃. It is a white, odorless, crystalline, and nonhygroscopic solid that is strongly dissociated in water.

Perchloric acid is a strong mineral acid with the chemical formula HClO4. It is a colorless, odorless liquid that is usually found in aqueous solutions. Perchloric acid is one of the strongest Brønsted-Lowry acids.

Sodium chlorite is the sodium salt of the unstable chlorous acid with the formula NaClO2. It appears as a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water.

Chlorine dioxide is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula ClO2. It exists as a yellowish-green gas at room temperature, a reddish-brown liquid between 11 °C and −59 °C, and as bright orange crystals below −59 °C. It is usually handled as an aqueous solution and is produced on-site for industrial applications.

Calcium carbide, also known as calcium acetylide, is a greyish-black, crystalline compound with the chemical formulat CaC2. Upon contact with water it generates acetylene, a highly flammable gas once widely used for lighting and welding.

Boron nitride (BN) is a compound formed by the 1:1 union of boron and nitrogen (elemental neighbors of carbon in the periodic table). Much like carbon, boron nitride exists in multiple crystalline forms, known as allotropes, each mirroring the structure of a specific carbon allotrope.

Boron carbide is a member of the important nonmetallic hard materials group alongside alumina, silicon carbide, and diamond with the chemical formula B4C. It is a black ceramic covalent material.

Boric acid is a hydrate of boric oxide, existing as both the trihydrate orthoboric acid, H3BO3 (B2O3·3 H2O), and the monohydrate metaboric acid, HBO2 (B2O3·H2O). Orthoboric acid is the commonly encountered commercial form, often simply referred to as boric acid.

Boron trioxide, also known as diboron trioxide, is the compound with the chemical formula B₂O₃. It is a colorless, transparent solid that is almost always glassy (amorphous), but can be crystallized with great difficulty.
