Peroxided: meaning, definitions and examples
🧪
peroxided
[ pəˈrɒksɪdɪd ]
chemical compound
Peroxided refers to a state in which a compound contains one or more peroxide groups (-O-O-). Compounds that are peroxided might exhibit different properties and reactivities compared to their non-peroxidized counterparts. This term is often used in chemistry and material science. The introduction of peroxide groups can influence the stability, reactivity, and applications of many substances.
Synonyms
oxidized, peroxide-containing.
Examples of usage
- The peroxided form of the compound was highly reactive.
- Researchers studied the effects of peroxided compounds in organic synthesis.
- In many laboratories, peroxided materials are handled with caution due to their explosive potential.

Etymology
The term 'peroxide' originates from the International Scientific Vocabulary, with 'per-' meaning 'through, fully' and '-oxide' indicating a compound containing oxygen. The discovery of hydrogen peroxide in the late 18th century, by the French chemist Louis Jacques Thénard, paved the way for the understanding of peroxides in chemical reactions. The use of the term 'peroxided' became more common as more peroxide-containing compounds were synthesized and studied in the 19th and 20th centuries. The presence of peroxides in various organic and inorganic compounds has significant implications in fields such as industrial chemistry, biochemistry, and material science, leading to further exploration and research on their properties and applications.
