  1. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is not a free radical, but it certainly has the ability to damage tissues like proteins, lipids, and even DNA.  Furthermore, it can be used to generate reactive free radicals (specifically hydroxyl radicals), which can exacerbate the damage.

    Hydrogen peroxide can indeed be classified as a peroxide.
