▪ I. peroxide Chem.|pəˈrɒksaɪd| [f. per- 5 a (see note there) + oxide.] 1. a. That compound of oxygen with another element which contains the greatest possible proportion of oxygen. Now usu. restricted to those oxides which have at least one pair of oxygen atoms bonded to each other in the molecule, or which contain the anion O22-.
1804T. Thomson Chem. (ed. 2) I. 103 When a metal has combined with as much oxygen as possible, I shall denote the compound formed by the term peroxide; indicating by it, that the metal is thoroughly oxidized. Thus we have..the terms protoxide and peroxide to denote the minimum and maximum of oxidizement; and the terms deutoxide, tritoxide, etc. to denote all the intermediate states which are capable of being formed. 1804Hatchett in Phil. Trans. XCIV. 324 The air,..after the wax is burned, combines with the superficial part of the oxide, and converts a portion of it into the red or peroxide. 1812Sir H. Davy Chem. Philos. 380 There are two definite combinations of tin and oxygene: the first, which may be called the protoxide, is gray; the second, which may be called the peroxide, is white. 1854J.

1858B. C. Brodie in Proc. R. Soc. IX. 362, I have to add a new term to this series, of which hitherto no analogue has existed. This term is the peroxide of the organic radical,—the body which in the series of acetyl corresponds to the peroxide of hydrogen or barium in the series of the metal. 1881Chem.

Chem. xiii. 198 True peroxides are held to possess the linking present in hydrogen peroxide, {b1}O{b1}O{b1}. 1950N. V. Sidgwick Chem. Elements II. 871 From hydrogen peroxide are derived a large number of compounds containing the O{b1}O link; not only organic derivatives such as the alkyl and acyl peroxides, the percarboxylic acids..but also many inorganic derivatives, in which one or more oxygen atoms of a basic or inorganic oxide, or an oxy⁓acid, are replaced by O{b1}O groups. The binary inorganic compounds are commonly known as peroxides: this name should be confined to O{b1}O compounds, but is often extended to include any metallic oxides with an unusually large amount of oxygen, such as PbO2 and MnO2. 1971Nomencl.
