Also known as peroxides, peroxide compound

Peroxides are a group of molecules with the structure , where each R represents a radical (a portion of a complete molecule; not a free radical) and the O's are single oxygen atoms. Oxygen atoms are joined to each other and to adjacent elements through single covalent bonds, denoted by dashes or lines. The group in a peroxide is often called the peroxide group, though some nomenclature discrepancies exist. This linkage is recognized as a common polyatomic ion, and exists in many molecules.

AI overview

Peroxides are molecules containing two oxygen atoms bonded to each other and to other parts of the molecule, and this oxygen-oxygen connection appears in many different chemical compounds. This particular arrangement of atoms is important enough that scientists recognize it as a distinct structural feature they call the peroxide group.
