<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> process <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> bleaching can occur in <strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> two<br />
ways.<br />
1. Ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> bleach can oxidize <strong>the</strong> substance, breaking<br />
<strong>the</strong> chemical b<strong>on</strong>ds that make up <strong>the</strong> molecules in a<br />
substance that generate <strong>the</strong> color.<br />
2. it can change <strong>the</strong> double b<strong>on</strong>ds <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a molecule that<br />
produces a color into single b<strong>on</strong>ds, changing its<br />
ability to absorb light.<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> molecule in most soluti<strong>on</strong>s that produces <strong>the</strong><br />
visible color is called a chromophore.
