What Happens When You Add An Extra Oxygen Atom To A Water Molecule?

<p>The first chemist orders a H2O &mdash; which is water. We can drink water. We need it to survive.</p> <p>However, the second chemist orders a &ldquo;H2O too&rdquo;, which sounds like H2O2, which is the chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide.</p> <p>Now hydrogen peroxide is&nbsp;<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/337708/Hydrogen_Peroxide_Toxicological_Overview_phe_v1.pdf" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">toxic</a>&nbsp;to our bodies, and that&rsquo;s why anyone who drinks liquid H2O2 is essentially committing suicide.</p> <p>But the problem in the energy generation process is that the electron transfer has to be darned near&nbsp;<strong><em>complete</em></strong>&nbsp;to get oxygen molecules completely reduced to water.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/beingwell/what-happens-when-you-add-an-extra-oxygen-atom-to-a-water-molecule-8626d45fec47"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
