Hydrogen Peroxide & Beyond: Exploring the World of Peroxides
Peroxides are a class of chemical compounds characterized by the presence of an oxygen-oxygen (O-O) bond. They exhibit strong oxidizing properties, making them valuable in various industrial, medical, and environmental applications. Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is the most well-known peroxide, widely used as a disinfectant, bleaching agent, and antiseptic. Organic peroxides play a crucial role in polymerization reactions, while metal peroxides are utilized in oxidation processes and energy storage systems. In biological systems, peroxides contribute to cellular signaling and oxidative stress, influencing both health and disease mechanisms. Due to their high reactivity, handling peroxides requires proper safety precautions to prevent hazardous decomposition.
