Alkali (group IA) and alkaline (group IIA) metals combine with oxygen to produce metallic peroxides.

Dans les dénominations de familles de composés, l'adjectif anglais «metallic» ou le terme anglais «metal» employé adjectivement se traduisent en français par «métallique» de préférence à «de métal». P. ex. : acétylures métalliques, azides métalliques, azotures métalliques, carbonoperoxoates métalliques, chlorures métalliques, cyanures métalliques, hydroxydes métalliques, hydrures métalliques, nitrates métalliques, sels métalliques, stéarates métalliques et sulfures métalliques (tournures plus naturelles que celles formées avec «de métal»). En revanche, lorsqu'il est nécessaire de préciser la nature du métal (métaux alcalins, métaux alcalino-terreux, métaux de transition, métaux des terres rares, métaux lourds, etc.), il est préférable, pour éviter toute ambiguïté, d'utiliser la locution «de métal». P. ex. : peroxydes de métaux de transition (et non «peroxydes métalliques de transition»), peroxydes de métaux alcalins (et non «peroxydes métalliques alcalins»). 4, record 3, French, - peroxyde%20m%C3%A9tallique

Zirconium-Titanium Phosphate Acid Catalysts Synthesized by Sol Gel Techniques.... A method for preventing the condensation of the crystal structure during exposure to high temperatures was to use H2SO4 along with phosphoric acid as a gelling agent either during initial synthesis or by dissolving the amorphous phosphate in sulfuric acid later. Sulfonation created a solution of metal phosphates and metal sulfates in our catalyst that increased the proportion of amorphous to crystalline regions in the material even after treatment at high temperatures. 2, record 6, English, - amorphous%20phosphate

On appelle phosphate amorphe un précipité contenant du phosphate et du calcium retrouvé en milieu alcalin.

Certains cristaux sont retrouvés exclusivement dans une urine acide et d'autres dans une urine alcaline. Les cristaux amorphes sont souvent identifiés par le pH.
