No, hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, meaning in each molecule there are two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms.
Water is H2O, meaning that each molecules has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
Hydrogen peroxide has different chemical and physical properties from water. It is more acidic, more viscous, and has a higher boiling point. It decomposes easily into water and oxygen and is a strong oxidizer.

Are water and hydrogen peroxide the same compound?
Far from it. Water contains one oxygen atom with two hydrogen atoms bonded to it. Hydrogen peroxide has two oxygen atoms each with its own hydrogen atom.Right now you're like, "well, so what?" The two oxygen atoms are connected with a single bond - the "peroxide group." Peroxides are very unstable and energetic. Pure hydrogen peroxide can be used as rocket fuel.
Which solid is acting as a catalyst for the reaction between hydrogen peroxide solution and gas syringe?
Gas syringe isn't an element. Or a compound. I'm assuming you're talking about hydrogen peroxide decomposing into water and O2 gas. It's probably a transition metal of some sort. An iodide solution also works well, but that's not a solid.
What happens when hydrogen is combined with oxygen?
When two oxygen and one hydrogen is mixed together, it forms water, or H2O. NASA uses a combination of hydrogen and oxygen in their fuel tanks to ensure lift-off so it produces a large amount of energy in the right proportions as the reaction is very exothermic. If you mix hydrogen gas and oxygen gas they don't react at all unless you heat them.
What is produced when hydrogen peroxide and yeast are mixed?
Yeast does not react with hydrogen peroxide but it is a catalyst. Hydrogen peroxide (H202) decomposes into H2O and O2. This is always happening but at a very low rate so you don't notice it. If you add yeast to hydrogen peroxide it will speed up the decomposition of H2O2. However the yeast does not react with the H2O2 and nothing is chemically altered in the yeast. That is because yeast is a catalyst.
What is the chemical formula for trihydride?
Water could be called a hydride of oxygen, H2O as could hydrogen peroxide, H2O2. More typically water is termed an oxide of hydrogen, as the more electronegative element takes the -ide ending.

Is hydrogen peroxide good for cuts?
Depending on the severity and cause of the cut, hydrogen peroxide may or may not be useful. It is highly recommended not to use hydrogen peroxide on deep wounds. For small wounds with debris, hydrogen peroxide is useful to dislodge small particles within the wound. In this case, it is recommended to rinse the wound with clean, running water as well.
What is a mix of hydrogen and oxygen called?
Well 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen equals water. Equal parts H and O equals hydrogen peroxide.
Does hydrogen peroxide conduct electricity?
Yes, rather well. H2O2 is a really good conductor.
What are some organic compound containing hydrogen?
Hydrogen peroxide may have hydrogen, as well as hydrogenated oils.
Why does Hydrogen Peroxide cause a reaction?
Well the structure H-O-O-H makes it reactive and not nearly as stable as water.
What is the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with hydrogen peroxide?
Well, I would actually guess that there wouldn't be one, being that all you are doing is adding more of the same thing to the same thing. This is because if there was a reaction between hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen peroxide, it would happen all the time, as the molecules of hydrogen peroxide are always next to each other... (well not always, but you get the point) Hope this helps!
Is hydrogen peroxide able to kill semen?
Well Hydrogen Peroxide is able to kill the most deadly bacteria. So by random guess I am pretty sure it could.
Substitutes for hydrogen peroxide for cleaning cuts or wounds or scrapes?
Antibacterial soap works well. rinse it thoroughly with water afterwards, and do it again if necessary.
What would occur if you mixed corn syrup corn oil rubbing alcohol hydrogen peroxide and water together?
Well, if you mixed rubbing alcohol with hydrogen peroxide it could produce a risk of creating VERY harmful chlorine gases. So I don't advise you to try it.
How is hydrogen peroxide harmful?
Yes, and it's also corrosive and would do a lot of damage to the esophagus.Another opinion:While the above may be true for high concentration hydrogen peroxide, it bears noting the antiseptic one buys at the pharmacy is a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and water. At this concentration, it's comparatively harmless, and it would take a huge dose to do any serious harm. In fact, I've seen hydrogen peroxide 3% prescribed as an oral mouthwash-antiseptic. And it would take an amazing amount to reach acute toxicity. That said, it's probably not a good idea to swallow the stuff. So, in answer to the question, small amounts of hydrogen peroxide can be consumed without significant harm (although -- once more -- this is not a good idea).
What things that have hydrogen?
All known life forms contain hydrogen in the form of H2O, as well as a part of each and every biological molecule - fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
