Hyperoxide vs. Peroxide — What's the Difference?

(inorganic chemistry) Any oxide that has a higher than normal ratio of oxygen to metal

Peroxides are a group of compounds with the structure R−O−O−R, where R = any element. The O−O group in a peroxide is called the peroxide group or peroxo group.

A compound having a relatively large percentage of oxygen; a peroxide.

The divalent O2 group, or a compound containing this group, such as sodium peroxide, Na2O2, used as an oxidizing agent or bleach.

Hydrogen peroxide.

To treat with peroxide.

To bleach (hair) with hydrogen peroxide.

(inorganic chemistry) 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.

Hydrogen peroxide, especially when in an aqueous solution used as a bleach.

(organic chemistry) Any compound containing the functional group R-O-O-R'.

(transitive) To treat (something) with hydrogen peroxide, especially hair in order to bleach it.

An oxide containing more oxygen than some other oxide of the same element. Formerly peroxides were regarded as the highest oxides. Cf. Per-, 2.

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 inorganic compound containing the divalent ion -O-O-
