Answer:
This means that oxygen's oxidation state is −I rather than −II and that hydrogen peroxide is readily reduced. (It can also easily be oxidised back into O2. The functional group O−O is labelled peroxide and it would not make sense calling it dioxide since it does not feature oxides.

Answer:
Peroxides are a group of compounds with the structure R−O−O−R, where R = any element. The O−O group in a peroxide is called the peroxide group or peroxo group. The nomenclature is somewhat variable. The most common peroxide is hydrogen peroxide, colloquially known simply as "peroxide".
