Question

Zahara Noor wants to create a presentation of different molecules that helped change the world, but she needs help in naming them, so that anyone is able to understand the molecules that she is talking about. Provide the name of the molecule described here:H2O2: an important compound that comes in a liquid form at room temperature, and used in wound cleaning, and disinfecting.

Answer 1

H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide.

We can determine its name by the function O2(-2):

`O^(-2)_{^{^{}}2}_{}`

which has the name "peroxide". Since it is combined with hydrogen, we have hydrogen peroxide.
