Isn’t bleach just a water molecule with an extra oxygen atom? I’m not a chemist but I didn’t think you could make assumptions about the effect of a substance in the way you describe. Am I missing something?
- SAI_Peregrinus 4y agoHydrogen peroxide is H2O2 (SMILES `OO`). "Bleach" can refer to any chemical that makes things whiter. Common laundry bleach is usually a chlorine bleach, most often Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO, SMILES `[Na+].[O-]Cl`). There are a bunch of other bleaches[1].
