Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)
Reactive oxygen species are
molecules like hydrogen peroxide (#5)
ions like the hypochlorite ion (#6)
radicals like the hydroxyl radical (#3).

Reactive oxygen species
Several highly reactive, transient oxygen derivatives can be formed during this process:
Hydrogen peroxide
Superoxide anion
Hydroxyl radical ...
