Structure and Properties
Like hydrogen peroxide, carbamide peroxide is an oxidizer. This compound is a white crystalline solid which dissolves in water to give free hydrogen peroxide; the solubility of commercial samples varies from 0.05 g/mL to more than 0.6 g/mL. The solid state structure of this adduct at the right has been determined by neutron diffraction.
