In hydrogen peroxide, each oxygen atom has a -1 oxidation number. When oxygen is bonded to fluorine, as in hypofluorous acid (HOF), the oxidation number of oxygen is 0. Oxygen- fluorine compounds are relatively rare and not too terribly important for our studies. 6. In compounds, the ...

In recent years, sulfate radicals have attracted attention. These radicals could play an important role because of their high oxidation potential. Table 1. Oxidation potential of commonly used oxidants [26]. Oxidant Fluorine [F2] Hydroxyl radical [HO·] Sulfate radical [SO4·−] Ozone [O3] ...
