Water is a weird molecule, and no matter how many strange things about it we discover, it seems like there are always more unexpected surprises waiting around the corner – even after centuries of researching it.

more…

Interesting.

The first thing I did after reading this was search for the chemical formula of hydrogen peroxide, which is H2O2.

So an English question…

What does peroxide mean?

Chemistry. a prefix used in the names of inorganic acids and their salts that possess the maximum amount of the element specified in the base word:
percarbonic
(H2C2O5), permanganic (HMnO4), persulfuric (H2S2O8), acids; potassium permanganate (KMnO4); potassium persulfate (K2S2O8).

I’m not sure i believe this. The size of droplets he’s talking about are exactly the same size as the dominant size range of those formed by breaking waves in the open ocean.

They’re too big to have any special catalytic properties beyond the normal high surface area and high surtace tension.
