Why is water harmless and hydrogen peroxide is poisionous given that both are compounds of hydrogen and oxygen?
Because the extra oxygen atom makes peroxide much more chemically reactive and unstable than water.
How reactive is Protactinium?
Protactinium react with oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, halogens, many other elements, mineral acids.The Pauling electronegativity is 1,5 and is considered a fairly reactive metal.
Is potassium more reactive than hydrogen?
Yes, Potassium is more reactive than hydrogen.
Is hydrogen recative?
Hydrogen is more reactive than Copper, but less reactive than Zinc which is less reactive than Magnesium which is less reactive than Potassium. Potassium is the most reactive of all, relatively speaking.
Does plutonium react?
Plutonium react with hydrogen, oxygen, halogens, carbon, nitrogen, silicon, sulfur, phosphorous, acids, etc. Plutonium is a reactive metal.
Most of the hydrogen in the Earth's atmosphere is combined with oxygen as water What might you conclude by that fact?
That oxygen and hydrogen are highly reactive.
Why isn't hydrogen reactive?
Hydrogen IS reactive
Which is more reactive - helium or hydrogen?
I'm not sure of the exacts, but I'm fairly sure that oxygen is more reactive than hydrogen. For example, when testing with a smoldering wood splint, in the presence of oxygen gas the flame is reignited, while in the presence of hydrogen gas the splint simply glows. Again, not sure of the exacts myself, but it may have something to do with the fact that oxygen is diatomic and has a double bond with itself, leaving each oxygen atom with two unbonded pairs of valence electrons, making it more reactive. Hydrogen is also diatomic, and that means that each hydrogen atom is used in the single covalent bond, leaving it with no unbonded valence electrons, making it presumably less reactive than oxygen.
Why is water not reactive?
Apart, Oxygen and Hydrogen are not stable, but when they combine they become stable, and when something is stable, it is not reactive (unless you force it to be)

How reactive is actinium?
Actinium react with oxygen, water, hydrogen, sulfur, halogens, etc.
Why is helium gas safer than hydrogen gas?
Because hydrogen is reactive and combines with oxygen, while helium is inert.
Will Hydrogen Peroxides kill giardia germs?
Since categorized in the highly reactive oxygen species , it should do the trick knowing it is high in oxygen.

Because the extra oxygen atom makes peroxide much more chemically reactive and unstable than water.
How is the formula for water different than the formula for hydrogen peroxide?
Water is H2O. Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. Hydrogen peroxide has one more oxygen atom per molecule than water. The extra oxygen is what makes it a peroxide. "Hydrogen oxide" would be water. The extra oxygen also makes hydrogen peroxide much more reactive than water due to the unstable oxygen-oxygen bond.
How reactive is Protactinium?
Protactinium react with oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, halogens, many other elements, mineral acids.The Pauling electronegativity is 1,5 and is considered a fairly reactive metal.
When water dissociates each water molecule splits into?
Initially, each water molecule splits into two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. These single atom forms of hydrogen and oxygen are highly reactive and soon pair with one another to form diatomic molecules of both hydrogen and oxygen.
