Answer:
The most common peroxide is hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), colloquially known simply as "peroxide". It is marketed as a solution in water at various concentrations. Since hydrogen peroxide is nearly colorless, so are these solutions. It is mainly used as an oxidant and bleaching agent. However, hydrogen peroxide is also biochemically produced in the human body, largely as a result of a range of oxidase enzymes.[2] Concentrated solutions are potentially dangerous when in contact with organic compounds.
O−O bond length = 147.4 pm O−H bond length = 95.0 pm

Aside from hydrogen peroxide, some other major classes of peroxides are:
Peroxy acids, the peroxy derivatives of many familiar acids, examples being peroxymonosulfuric acid and peracetic acid.
Metal peroxides, examples being barium peroxide (BaO2) and sodium peroxide (Na2O2).
Organic peroxides, compounds with the linkage C−O−O−C or C−O−O−
