Usage Notes:

This translation corresponds directly to the English "difluoride" in scientific contexts, emphasizing its role as a chemical compound. It is primarily used in formal or technical settings, such as academic papers or laboratory reports. When choosing between translations like "дифторид" and "бифторид," opt for "дифторид" for general fluorides with two fluorine atoms. Be mindful of grammatical agreement in Russian sentences, ensuring the noun declines correctly with adjectives or verbs (e.g., "дифторид кальция" in nominative case).

Common Errors:

• Common Error: Confusing "дифторид" with "фторид" (fluoride), leading to incorrect specificity. For example, a learner might say "фторид" when meaning "дифторид."

  Correct Usage: Use "дифторид" for compounds with exactly two fluorine atoms, e.g., "В химии дифторид..." instead of "В химии фторид...". This distinction prevents oversimplification in scientific accuracy.

• Common Error: Incorrect declension, such as using the nominative form in all cases, e.g., saying "о дифторид" instead of "о дифториде."

  Correct Usage: Always decline based on context, e.g., "о дифториде" in prepositional case for "about difluoride."

Cultural Notes:

As a scientific term, "дифторид" does not carry significant cultural or historical connotations in Russian language. However, it reflects Russia's strong tradition in chemistry and materials science, influenced by figures like Dmitri Mendeleev, which may make such terms more prevalent in educational contexts.
