  2. Calcium peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_peroxide

    Calcium peroxide or calcium dioxide is the inorganic compound with the formula CaO 2. It is the peroxide (O 2 2−) salt of Ca 2+. Commercial samples can be yellowish, but the pure compound is white. It is almost insoluble in water. [3]

  3. Oxygen compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_compounds

    The oxidation state of oxygen is −2 in almost all known compounds of oxygen. The oxidation state −1 is found in a few compounds such as peroxides. Compounds containing oxygen in other oxidation states are very uncommon: − 1 ⁄ 2 (superoxides), − 1 ⁄ 3 , 0 (elemental, hypofluorous acid), + 1 ⁄ 2 , +1 (dioxygen difluoride), and +2 ...

  4. Oxidation state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidation_state

    2 has an overall charge of −1, so each of its two equivalent oxygen atoms is assigned an oxidation state of − ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠. This ion can be described as a resonance hybrid of two Lewis structures, where each oxygen has an oxidation state of 0 in one structure and −1 in the other. For the cyclopentadienyl anion C 5 H −

    The oxidation states are also maintained in articles of the elements (of course), and systematically in the table {{Infobox element/symbol-to-oxidation-state}} See also [ edit ]

  6. Calcium oxide - Wikipedia

    This is accomplished by heating the material to above 825 °C (1,517 °F), [6] [7] a process called calcination or lime-burning, to liberate a molecule of carbon dioxide (CO 2), leaving quicklime behind. This is also one of the few chemical reactions known in prehistoric times. [8] CaCO 3 (s) → CaO(s) + CO 2 (g)

  7. Oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen

    The oxidation state of oxygen is −2 in almost all known compounds of oxygen. The oxidation state −1 is found in a few compounds such as peroxides. [125] Compounds containing oxygen in other oxidation states are very uncommon: −1/2 (superoxides), −1/3 , 0 (elemental, hypofluorous acid), +1/2 , +1 (dioxygen difluoride), and +2 (oxygen ...

  8. Catalytic oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_oxidation

    One challenge is that methanol is more easily oxidized than is methane. [3] Catalytic oxidation with oxygen or air is a major application of green chemistry. There are however many oxidations that cannot be achieved so straightforwardly. The conversion of propylene to propylene oxide is typically effected using hydrogen peroxide, not oxygen or air.

  9. Superoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superoxide

    The reactive oxygen ion superoxide is particularly important as the product of the one-electron reduction of dioxygen O 2, which occurs widely in nature. [2] Molecular oxygen (dioxygen) is a diradical containing two unpaired electrons, and superoxide results from the addition of an electron which fills one of the two degenerate molecular ...
