ANSWER: Suboxides are a class of oxides wherein the electropositive element is in excess relative to "normal" oxides. So, for example CS11O3, RB9O2, B6O AND C3O2 are suboxides of Cs, Rb, B and C correspondingly (Cs2O, Rb2O, B2O3 and CO2 are corresponding normal oxides).

Expert's answer

Answer:

Suboxides are a class of oxides wherein the electropositive element is in excess relative to "normal" oxides.

So, for example Cs₁₁O₃, Rb₉O₂, B₆O and C₃O₂ are suboxides of Cs, Rb, B and C correspondingly (Cs₂O,Rb₂O, B₂O₃and CO₂are corresponding normal oxides).
