Oxea, derived from the Greek word "oxys", meaning sharp or pointed, is a chemical term used to describe organic compounds that contain both oxygen and double bonds. While the word "oxea" itself may not have many direct synonyms, it often falls under the broader classification of functional groups including ketones and aldehydes. These compounds can also be referred to as carbonyl compounds due to the presence of a carbon-oxygen double bond. Furthermore, specific types of oxeas include acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, and acetone. Synonyms for "oxea" can thus be found within the realm of organic chemistry, where various names describe these oxygen-containing, double-bonded compounds.
