Chief executive officer

A chief executive officer (CEO in American English) or managing director (MD in British English) describes the position of the most senior corporate officer, executive, or administrator in charge of managing an organization. The CEO of a corporation or company typically reports to the board of directors and is charged with maximizing the value of the entity. Titles also often given to the holder of the CEO position include president and chief executive (CE).

Responsibilities

The responsibilities of an organization's CEO are set by the organization's board of directors or other authority, depending on the organization's legal structure. They can be far-reaching or quite limited and are typically enshrined in a formal delegation of authority.

Typically, the CEO/MD has responsibilities as a director, decision maker, leader, manager and executor. The communicator role can involve the press and the rest of the outside world, as well as the organization's management and employees; the decision-making role involves high-level decisions about policy and strategy. As a leader of the company, the CEO/MD advises the board of directors, motivates employees, and drives change within the organization. As a manager, the CEO/MD presides over the organization's day-to-day operations. The term refers to the person who takes all the decisions regarding the upliftment of the company, which includes all sectors and fields of the business like operations, marketing, business Development, finance, Human resources, etc. The CEO of a company is not necessarily the owner of the company.

Cerium(IV) oxide

Cerium(IV) oxide, also known as ceric oxide, ceria, cerium oxide or cerium dioxide, is an oxide of the rare earth metal cerium. It is a pale yellow-white powder with the chemical formula CeO₂.

Cerium(IV) oxide is formed by the calcination of cerium oxalate or cerium hydroxide.

Powdered ceria is slightly hygroscopic and will also absorb a small amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Cerium also forms cerium(III) oxide, Ce
2O
3, which is an unstable compound that will oxidize to cerium (IV) oxide under standard conditions for temperature and pressure.

Structure

Cerium oxide has the fluorite structure, space group Fm3m, #225 containing 8 coordinate Ce⁴⁺ and 4 coordinate O²⁻ . At high temperatures it can be reduced to a non-stoichiometric, anion deficient form that retains the fluorite lattice, CeO_(2-x) where 0 < < 0.28. The value of depends on both the temperature and the oxygen partial pressure. The equation

has been shown to predict the equilibrium non stoichiometry over a wide range of oxygen partial pressures (10³ - 10⁻⁴ Pa) and temperatures (1000-1900 °C).
