What ionic compounds are involved in hydrogen peroxide?
None.H-O-O-HA rough molecular representation of hydrogen peroxide showing all single covalent bonds. No ionic bonding here.
Is hydrogen peroxide a ionic compound?
No. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a covalent compound. Each oxygen atom goes through single bonding with the other oxygen atom, and another single bond with one hydrogen atom.
Why is hydrogen peroxide soluable in water?
Because it's an ionic compound and all ionic compounds disassociate in water solvents. They break apart into separate ions and form an electrolytic solution. In this case it would be the H+ cation and the (O2)2- anion from hydrogen peroxide which is H2O2
What is the ionic equation for a hydrogen and a carbonate?
H+ for hydrogen co32- for carbonates
Why is oxygen gas produced from the decomposition of H2O2 and not hydrogen gas?
Hydrogen has a much lower attraction for electrons than oxygen does (or in more technical terms, oxygen has a much higher electronegativity). So when hydrogen gives up an electron to oxygen, it creates a strong chemical bond (although not an ionic bond; hydrogen's electronegativity is too high for that). When hydrogen peroxide gives up excess oxygen, the hydrogen remains bonded to the remaining oxygen (since hydrogen peroxide becomes water, H2O). If instead the hydrogen peroxide were to give up hydrogen, you would lose the powerful bond between hydrogen and oxygen, and all you would get in exchange would be a much weaker bond between hydrogen atoms and other hydrogen atoms, in the diatomic hydrogen molecule. Chemical reactions move in the direction of the strongest available bonds.

How H2O different from H2O2?
H2O is water which is formed from a covalent bond between hydrogen and oxygen. H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide which is formed from an ionic bond between the hydrogen H+ cation and the peroxide O2- anion.
What has hydrogen peroxide in it?
As the name suggests, hydrogen peroxide has in it ,hydrogen and oxygen. Its formula is H2O2. Structurally, it is ' H-O-O-H '. The 'per---' in the formul/structure means that the two oxygens are singly bonded together. This type of bond is rather unstable and makes 'peroxides' in general a reactive species.
What is the name of the ionic compound Li2O2?
The name of the ionic compound Li2O2 is lithium peroxide.
Is H2O2 ionic or covalent bond?
H2O2, also known as hydrogen peroxide, has a covalent bond. This molecule is formed when two hydrogen atoms covalently bond with two oxygen atoms.
Is hydrogen peroxide an ionic or molecular compound?
Molecular compounds are commonly formed by hydrogen. Look at sugar: C6H12O6 Look at natural hydrogen compounds: H2 I'm sure under certain circumstances hydrogen may form an ionic compound with other elements, but you will never find it in nature. On the contrary--acids are ionic compounds and most release a proton (H+) to the aqueous solution.
What kind of bond is Hydrogen Peroxide?
covalent the electronegitivity of carbon is 2.1 the electronegitivity of oxygen is 3.5 if the difference between them is less then 1.67, then the bond is covalent. if the difference between them is more than 1.67, then the bind is ionic 3.5-2.1=1.4 so the bond of hydrogen peroxide is covalent because the difference between the electronegitivities is less than 1.67
What is the difference between a total ionic equation and a net ionic equation?
The net ionic equation has only the species involved in the chemical reaction.
