  2. Hydrogen peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_peroxide

    Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 O 2.In its pure form, it is a very pale blue [5] liquid that is slightly more viscous than water.It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent, and antiseptic, usually as a dilute solution (3%–6% by weight) in water for consumer use and in higher concentrations for industrial use.

  3. Reactive oxygen species - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_oxygen_species

    F: hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2); G: nitric oxide (NO •) In chemistry and biology, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive chemicals formed from diatomic oxygen (O 2), water, and hydrogen peroxide. Some prominent ROS are hydroperoxide (O 2 H), superoxide (O 2 −), [1] hydroxyl radical (OH.), and singlet oxygen. [2]

  4. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    [1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [4] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.

  5. Peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxide

    In chemistry, peroxides are a group of compounds with the structure R−O−O−R, where the R's represent a radical (a portion of a complete molecule; not necessarily a free radical [1]) and O's are single oxygen atoms. [2] [3] Oxygen atoms are joined to each other and to adjacent elements through single covalent bonds, denoted by dashes or lines.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bonding_of_water

    The simple MO diagram of H 2 O is shown on the right. [2] [3] Following simple symmetry treatments, the 1s orbitals of hydrogen atom are premixed as a 1 and b 1. Orbitals of same symmetry and similar energy levels can then be mixed to form a new set of molecular orbitals with bonding, nonbonding, and antibonding characteristics. In the simple ...

  7. Sodium peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_peroxide

    Sodium peroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Na 2 O 2.This yellowish solid is the product of sodium ignited in excess oxygen. [3] It is a strong base. This metal peroxide exists in several hydrates and peroxyhydrates including Na 2 O 2 ·2H 2 O 2 ·4H 2 O, Na 2 O 2 ·2H 2 O, Na 2 O 2 ·2H 2 O 2, and Na 2 O 2 ·8H 2 O. [4] The octahydrate, which is simple to prepare, is white, in ...

  8. Singlet oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singlet_oxygen

    Abbreviations, step 1: H 2 O 2, hydrogen peroxide; Na 2 MoO 4 (catalyst), sodium molybdate. Step 2: Na 2 SO 3 (reducing agent), sodium sulfite. Because of differences in their electron shells, singlet and triplet oxygen differ in their chemical properties; singlet oxygen is highly reactive. [26] The lifetime of singlet oxygen depends on the ...

  9. Kastle–Meyer test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kastle–Meyer_test

    The Kastle–Meyer test is a form of catalytic blood test, one of the two main classes of forensic tests commonly employed by crime labs in the chemical identification of blood. The other class of tests used for this purpose are microcrystal tests, such as the Teichmann crystal test and the Takayama crystal test.
