Answer:
Hydrogen Peroxide In bleaches and disinfectants, this strong oxidizer rips apart molecules to whiten or clean. Here it's sealed in a glass capsule that cracks open when you bend the plastic stick. Once it's unleashed, H2O2 triggers a chemical chain reaction that puts the glow in the stick.

Answer:
Glow sticks light up when oxalate esters react with hydrogen peroxide to form a high-energy intermediate (possibly 1,2-dioxetanedione). This intermediate reacts with dye, which moves to an excited state (indicated with *) and then releases light as it relaxes.
