Peroxides are explosive due to weak oxygen-oxygen single bonds releasing high energy upon cleavage

the verdict
COMMON KNOWLEDGE
Legacy classification; evidence review pending
Recorded sources
no sources on either side

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that peroxides are explosive due to weak oxygen-oxygen single bonds releasing high energy upon cleavage?

Peroxides are well-known to be explosive and thermally unstable due to the weak oxygen-oxygen single bond, which readily cleaves and releases high energy.
