Yttrium Yttrium. 



Beryllicum Glucinum. 



Aluminium Aluminium. 



Magnesium Magnesium. 



Calcium Calcium. , 



Strontium Strontium. 



Barytium Barytium. 



Natrium Sodium. 



Kalium Potassium. 



Ammonium Ammonium. 



The preceding arrangement is the supposed electrical order of the 

 various bodies, beginning with oxygen, which is decidedly negative. 

 Those metals that form acids are placed first, and those that form 

 only bases are placed last. 



II. CoMPosiTA. ' Compounds. 



A. Composila Inorganica. Inorganic Compounds. 



i. Ammonium cum Oxygenio. Ammonium with Oxygen. 



Hydrogenium Hydrogen.* 



Ammoniacum Ammonia. 



Nitrogenium Azote. 



b. Suloxida, Stihoxides. 



By suboxide is meant a body containing so little oxygen as neither 

 to constitute an acid nor a salifiable basis. 1 suspect several of his 

 supposed suboxides do not exist. 



Suboxidum kalicum Suboxide of potassium. 



natricum sodium. 



plumbicum . . . . lead. 



zincicum zinc. 



ferricum iron. 



arsenicum arsenic. 



carbonicum. . . .Carbonic oxide gas. 

 phosphoricum . .Oxide of phosphorus. 



c. Oxida. Oxides. 



Oxides are bodies that form salifiable bases, or combine witk 

 ©ther oxides without possessing acid properties. When the same 

 base forms two oxides, the first is distinguished by a termination in 

 osuni) the second in icum. 



Oxidum kahcum 1. kali Potash. 



natricum 1. natron . . . .Soda. ' 



baryticum 1. baryta . . .Barytes.
