Unless otherwise noted crystal structure is simple cubic like table salt NaCl.
Typical (with a few exceptions) is 1900°C melting point and Mohs 5.

Monometal monoxides

  • ScO - no monoxide? (well its a rare earth anyway)


  • CuO - Copper(II)_oxide - tenorite 6.5g/ccm - Mohs 3.5 to 4.0 - 1,326 °C - water insoluble - Monoclinic
  • ZnO - Zinc_oxide - [1] - 5.64–5.68g/ccm - Mohs 4 - 1,974°C (decomposes) - watersolubility minute - Hexagonal

Dimetal monoxides

There is more metal than oxygen but the material is still transparent. Odd.
Maybe because copper is pretty noble metal?


More scarce silver (in the copper group below copper) does the same but the resulting material has much worse properties.

  • Ag2O - Silver_oxide - 7.14g/ccm - Mohs ?? - decompoes ≥ 200 °C - slightly water soluble - cubic (but...)
