  2. Organic peroxides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_peroxides

    In organic chemistry, organic peroxides are organic compounds containing the peroxide functional group (R−OO−R′). If the R′ is hydrogen, the compounds are called hydroperoxides, which are discussed in that article. The OO bond of peroxides easily breaks, producing free radicals of the form RO • (the dot represents an unpaired ...

  3. 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.

  4. Transition metal dioxygen complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_metal_dioxygen...

    Since O 2 has a triplet ground state and Vaska's complex is a singlet, the reaction is slower than when singlet oxygen is used. [7] The magnetic properties of some η 2-O 2 complexes show that the ligand, in fact, is superoxide, not peroxide. [8] Most complexes of η 2-O 2 are generated using hydrogen peroxide, not from O 2.

  5. Metal peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_peroxide

    The first class mostly contains the peroxides of the alkali and alkaline earth metals whereas the covalent peroxides are represented by such compounds as hydrogen peroxide and peroxymonosulfuric acid (H 2 SO 5). In contrast to the purely ionic character of alkali metal peroxides, peroxides of transition metals have a more covalent character. [1]

  6. Chemical bonding of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bonding_of_water

    2 O is sp 3 hybridized in which the 2s atomic orbital and the three 2p orbitals of oxygen are hybridized to form four new hybridized orbitals which then participate in bonding by overlapping with the hydrogen 1s orbitals. As such, the predicted shape and bond angle of sp 3 hybridization is tetrahedral and 109.5°. This is in open agreement with ...

  7. Hydroperoxyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroperoxyl

    Together with its conjugate base superoxide, hydroperoxyl is an important reactive oxygen species.Unlike • O − 2, which has reducing properties, HO • 2 can act as an oxidant in a number of biologically important reactions, such as the abstraction of hydrogen atoms from tocopherol and polyunstaturated fatty acids in the lipid bilayer.

  8. Amphoterism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphoterism

    The water molecule is amphoteric in aqueous solution. It can either gain a proton to form a hydronium ion H 3 O +, or else lose a proton to form a hydroxide ion OH −. [7] Another possibility is the molecular autoionization reaction between two water molecules, in which one water molecule acts as an acid and another as a base. H 2 O + H 2 O ...

  9. Heteropolymetalate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heteropolymetalate

    Heteropolymetalates: K 5 [IMo 6 O 24]·nH 2 O Ag 7 [PV 12 O 36]·nH 2 O (NH 4) 4 [NiMo 6 O 24 H 6]·5H 2 O K 3 [CrMo 6 O 24 H 6]·nH 2 O (NH 4) 8 [CeMo 12 O 42]·8H 2 O. In chemistry, the heteropolymetalates are a subset of the polyoxometalates, which consist of three or more transition metal oxyanions linked together by shared oxygen atoms to form a closed 3-dimensional molecular framework.
