Hydrogen peroxide H2O2 and hydrogen dioxide H2O2 are the same thing.
Hydrogen monoxide is water H2O. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water
and monatomic oxygen [O] (nascent oxygen) nascent oxgen is much more
reactive than the diatomic O=O found in air. Hence hydrogen peroxide is
a pretty good antiseptic; much better than air.
Scott, I sent this to both Pumkins and direct to you. Therefore, you
should get two copies. Onelist had power backup problems and I sill have
not been able to sign you up on genetics@onelist.com--I have tried many
times.
