Properties of Hydrogen Peroxide and Water
- Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizer and reacts with a variety of substances.
- The dipole moment of H2O2 and water(H2O) is 2.2 and 1.85 respectively.
- Sugar is covalent, while salt is ionically bonded.
Chemical Structure and Storage
- The dipole moment of H2O2 is 2.1D.
- H2O2 is stored in black bottles due to its instability and tendency to decompose into water and oxygen.
- H2O2 is tetrahedral, non-planar, and polar.
