Re: [lojban] Nomenclature of the periodic table

There should be a way to distinguish (if necessary) element 8 ('oxygen') from its combining form 'oxide', meaning a binary compound of oxygen and another element. 

Oh yes, sorry I meant "element 8" = "oxygen".  That oxide is meant would be evident if there's more than one oxygen atom in a compound. Or am I wrong about that? (no chemist either)

I'm certain you would day that, but my approach would be a rather systematic one. It would simply state that this is a compound of two times the atom of order (proton amount) 8 (which is oxide). 
Of course one could use your proposal, but the idea is that by another way ANY atom can be expressed (in a strictly scientific area or for anyone who doesn't want to learn some randomly assigned words, copied into the lojban language)
