Answer:

O-O single bond as “peroxy”

A peroxide is generally an organic molecule with a R-O-O-R functional group the oxidation number argument does not work well with covalent compounds which share electrons rather than formally (or not) transfer them.

So, if you want to find a peroxide, look at the valency of the metal and cross it with the valency of oxygen. If you form a compoound that is not the same as the one in question, then you know automatically the compound contains a peroxide. For further elaboration, look at the list below:

H2O2

instead of H2O

Na2O2

instead of Na2O

K2O2

instead of K2O

MgO2

instead of MgO

CaO2 instead of CaO

From the list, we can conclude that when we have more oxygen in the metal-oxygen compound than is needed for stability (of the metal). Chances are the oxygen atoms are bonded to one another by a single bond therefor making a peroxide ion

Hope so this will help you :))

Answer:in proxy group there are many compound sontimes there is some compunds found which was not identify by the general identification but we generally and mostly use this

R-o-o-R.

Hope this is useful
