What does CeO stand for? It's not on the Acronyms and Abbreviations page. Google returns "Chief Executive Officer" and the SRP search doesn't return anything. Thanks. I'll stick the answer on the Acronyms/Abbreviations page.

Cerium's chemical sign is Ce, so CeO would be viable (although the actual chemical disposition might be something like Ce_O_, where _ is a number)

Reply indeed its cerium oxide. I use CeO because we say CrO. CrO should technically be either Cr2O3 or CR(III)O or chromium III oxide because chromium has two possible redox states. CrO2 or CR(IV)O or chromium IV oxide is completely different.
CeO or Ce(II)O is very uncommon. Ce2O3 or Ce(III)O is more common, and is yellow brown in colour, but CeO2 or Cr(IV)O is the one most used as an abrasive and is much closer to white than Ce2O3. Thus I would assume the closer to white it is the better a paste it is.
