What is hydrogen peroxide?

Answer 1

Hydrogen Peroxide(H2O2) is a Compound commonly used in first aid as a disinfectant.

Hydrogen Peroxide is a compound created by 2 Hydrogen atoms bonding to 2 Oxygen atoms as in H-O-O-H. A single Oxygen atom, however, prefers to be bonded to two Hydrogen atoms, and the extra Hydrogen atom in H-O-O-H is very unstable and likes to break of leaving water behind (and often wreaking havoc in the process). The unstable nature of Hydrogen Peroxide makes it a powerful and dangerous rocket propellant. Me 163's powered by H2O2 often blew up on the runway before takeoff.

After the extra hydrogen atom breaks off, the Hydrogen Peroxide turns into water, which happens if you forget to put the cap on the bottle (don't try drinking it though!)

Answer 2

Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H2O2. It is a weak acid with strong oxidizing properties, commonly used as a disinfectant, bleaching agent, and antiseptic. It decomposes into water and oxygen when exposed to light or heat.

Answer 3

Hair care. If you mix it with sodium AKA salt, it will foam rapidly.
