A compound formed between antimony and another element, typically a metal or nonmetal.
From antimony + -id (variant of -ide), a suffix indicating a binary compound or element in a combined form. This term is largely archaic, replaced by the more standard 'antimonide' in modern chemistry.
Chemistry keeps evolving its own language—antimonid is one of those words that lost the evolutionary battle to 'antimonide.' It's like how 'electrolyze' won out over older variants. The cleaner, more standardized form survives.
