a divalent radical or anion containing two oxygen atoms linked by a covalent bond; any substance containing this group which yields hydrogen peroxide when treated with an acid
to treat (something) with hydrogen peroxide, especially hair in order to bleach it
Peroxide is a chemical that is often used for making hair lighter in colour. It can also be used to kill germs. see also hydrogen peroxide. a liquid chemical used to make hair light in colour or to kill bacteria (per- (from , from per; PER) + oxide). Any of a class of chemical compounds in which two oxygen atoms are linked by a single covalent bond. Several organic (see organic compound) and inorganic (see inorganic compound) peroxides are useful as bleaching and oxidizing agents (see oxidation-reduction), as initiators of polymerization reactions, and in the preparation of hydrogen peroxide (a mild bleach and antiseptic) and other oxygen compounds. The peroxide anion (chemical formula O2^2-) is present in peroxides of inorganic compounds
a viscous liquid with strong oxidizing properties; a powerful bleaching agent; also used as a disinfectant and (in strong concentrations) as an oxidant in rocket fuels
Literally, a compound that is rich in oxygen Used to describe compounds that formally contain the O22- ion
Any compound containing a bivalent 0-0 group, i e , the O atoms are univalent Such compounds release atomic (nascent) oxygen readily, and are used as oxidizing or bleaching agents For example, hydrogen peroxide, H2O2
an inorganic compound containing the divalent ion -O-O- bleach with peroxide; "She must peroxide her hair-it looks unnaturally blond
A substance containing the weak covalent peroxide bond, which is readily broken, e g on heating, to give free radicals: R - 0 - 0 - R ~ 2RO Organic peroxides are the most commonly used type of initiator for free radical polymerisation
You can refer to a woman whose hair has been artificially been made lighter in colour as a peroxide blonde, especially when you want to show that you disapprove of this, or that you think her hair looks unnatural or unattractive
A cyclic organic peroxide; a mixture of mostly the trimer, (((CH3)2CO2)3), (TCAP or TATP), containing a nine-membered ring and the dimer, (((CH3)2CO2)2) containing a six-membered ring; it is a high explosive manufactured from acetone and hydrogen peroxide with the aid of sulphuric acid, and has been used by amateur bomb makers
A colourless liquid, H2O2, soluble in water, used as a mild antiseptic, bleaching agent (especially for bleaching hair), oxidizing agent and chemical reagent
An unstable, colorless, heavy liqued used as a bleach in industry and as an antiseptic in households It is used as an oxidizing agent in pools and spas May also be used to de- chlorinate pool or spa water
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical that is often used to make hair lighter or to kill germs. A colorless, heavy, strongly oxidizing liquid, H, capable of reacting explosively with combustibles and used principally in aqueous solution as a mild antiseptic, a bleaching agent, an oxidizing agent, and a laboratory reagent. a chemical liquid used for killing bacteria and for making hair and other substances lighter in colour
An unstable, colorless, heavy liquid used as a bleach in industry and as an antiseptic in households It is used as an oxidizing agent in pools and spas May also be used to de-chlorinate pool or spa water
a viscous liquid with strong oxidizing properties; a powerful bleaching agent; also used as a disinfectant and (in strong concentrations) as an oxidant in rocket fuels
An organic compound that contains the bivalent -O-O structure and may be considered a structural derivative of hydrogen peroxide where one or both of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced by an organic radical
an organic material with an R-O-O-R molecular arrangement These materials may act as an oxidizer, but more importantly may explode spontaneously or with little initiation
An organic compound containing the bivalent -0-0- structure and which may be considered a derivative of hydrogen peroxide where one or more of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic radicals must be classed as an organic peroxide
An organic compound that contains the bivalent O-O structure and may be considered a structural derivative of hydrogen peroxide where one or both of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced by an organic radical
is an organic compound containing the vivalent -0-0- structure and which may be considered a derivative of hydrogen peroxide where one or more of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic radicals must be classed as an organic peroxide
