Is peroxide an element?
Peroxide is not an element but it is an ion
What is the peroxide ion?
peroxide = O2-2
Is peroxide a base?
The peroxide ion (O22-) is a base. Hydrogen peroxide is mildly acidic.
Is hydrogen peroxide the same as regular peroxide?
Yes, it contains the ordinary peroxide ion attached to two hydrogen ions.
Does peroxide contain hydrogen and oxygen?
Peroxide commonly refers to hydrogen peroxide, or H2O2, which is composes only of hydrogen and oxygen. However, in chemistry it can also refer to the peroxide ion O22- which is composed only of oxygen. The former usage of the term "peroxide" is more common.

Is peroxide a base?
The peroxide ion (O22-) is a base. Hydrogen peroxide is mildly acidic.
Is hydroxide the same with peroxide?
No. Hydroxide is an ion with the formula OH-. It is a very basic (alkaline) ion. The peroxide is either an ion with the formula O22- or a group in a molecule with the formula O2, where each oxygen is bonded to another atom. Peroxide is often used to mean hydrogen peroxide or H2O2
Is hydrogen peroxide the same as regular peroxide?
Yes, it contains the ordinary peroxide ion attached to two hydrogen ions.
Does oxygen form ionic bonds?
Yes oxygen can form the oxide ion O2-, and the peroxide ion O22-

What is the name of the polyatomic ion in the compound Na2O2?
Polyatomic ion in the compound Na2O2 is known as peroxide. Such polyatomic ion contains two or more atoms covalently bonded.
Why is Hg2O2 called Mercury peroxide and not Mercury dioxide?
Mercury peroxide contains a distinct peroxide ion, with the formula O2-2. An oxide ion, in contrast, has a single oxygen atom but also has a charge of -2. The term dioxide, with ionic compounds, is reserved for compounds containing two oxide ions per molecule.
Why is peroxide considered a poly-atomic ion and not a simple ion?
It is polyatomic because it is composed of two oxygen atoms with a 2- charge, [O_O]2-.
What happens when you combine hydrogen and oxygen?
dihydrogen oxide, hydronium ion, Hydroperoxyl and Hydrogen peroxide
What is per oxides?
A peroxide is a compound containing the divalent ion O22- . Here oxygen has a oxidation state of -1.
