Beware of Dihydrogen Monoxide. It’s very dangerous!!!

• Causes thousands of deaths annually (via inhalation)
• Accelerates corrosion of metals
• Found in every cancerous tumour
• Major component of acid rain
• Leads to severe burns in gas form
• Detected in baby food and vaccines

⚠️⚠️⚠️

Here's some other dank names from the Wikipedia info card thing:

• Oxidane
• Hydrogen oxide
• Hydrogen hydroxide (H2O or HOH)
• Hydroxylic acid
• Dihydrogen monoxide
• Dihydrogen oxide
• Hydric acid
• Hydrohydroxic acid
• Hydroxic acid
• Hydroxoic acid
• Hydrol
• μ-Oxidodihydrogen
• κ1-Hydroxylhydrogen(0)
• Aqua
• Neutral liquid
• Oxygen dihydride

Star rust is also a cool name

Oxidane.

Doesn't an acid have to be an acid, though?

I think oxenium hydride would be more appropriate than hydroxyl taking into account the polarity of the two fragments (HO+ and H-), though AFAIK there is no standardized name for HO+.

Clearly I didn’t pay attention in chemistry

Where?
