Whoops, I knew that! Thanks for the correction!Originally Posted by smokey the elder
Actually water is dihydrogen monoxide (H2O). What you described is HO2, which is a peroxide ion. (Sorry, I'm a chemist and had to fix this.)
Anyway, chemophobia is a bad thing. The problem is the scientific illiteracy. I know there are a lot of $5 words on food labels. If you were to describe each and every organic molecule found in your basic banana by its official name it would look even worse!Serves me rights for posting while annoyed!
