Template talk:Oxygen compounds

I am proposing to change this.

At the moment the scope is too big, and there will be millions of possible chemicals containing oxygen. So instead of a chemical list, I say we should have chemical classes that contain oxygen.

eg oxides, peroxides, superoxides, ozonides, hydroxide, hydrates, oxyacid, Dioxygenyl, Oxonium ion, Allotropes of oxygen, silicates, carbonates, some major compounds: ice, water, silica, carbon dioxide. Organics can include: alcohol, Diol, Polyol, Phenols, ethers ketone aldehyde carboxylic acids esters acid anhydrides amides. Most of what is here is already in template:Oxides anyway.
