My favorite molecule is Benzyl Peroxide, it has 14 carbon, 10 hydrogen, and 4 oxygen. This compound is highly used to tread acne, and it works by reducing the amount of bacteria that causes acne. Chemically speaking benzyl peroxide is a radical initiator, so it induces polymer synthesis. It ability to induce polymerization is because it possesses weak bonds.
