the guy Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 if an oxygen ion radical (or whatever you call it) came into contact with a water molecule would it react to give a hydrogen peroxide molecule?
mississippichem Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 if an oxygen ion radical (or whatever you call it) came into contact with a water molecule would it react to give a hydrogen peroxide molecule? Or whatever you call it could be a peroxide ion, superoxide ion, dioxygen radical, dioxygen diradical, or a dioxygen radical ion. Please be more specific.
the guy Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 i mean just a single oxygen atom, i can't remember what it's called
Ladeira Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I think he means something like an atomic oxygen, I guess it is represented by the symbol [O]. I know some atomic oxygen is released when manganese heptoxide decomposes but I'm not sure if that's what you mean. Don't really think you'd have hydrogen peroxide. It's more probable that you'd obtain O2 when 2 of your atomic oxygens collide or, if you want to think on a collision between H2O (pure, without dissolved O2 or anything else) and [O], then there must be some chance, I don't really know.
