OpenStudy (falinecullen):

water has one less oxygen molecule than hydrogen peroxide is the answer to the first question

OpenStudy (falinecullen):

i don't know the answer to the second one

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yes its as @falinecullen said-- water is H2O where as hydrogen peroxide is H2O2,hence hydrogen PER oxide this extra oxygen makes it per-oxide and as u know oxygen is a oxident and this one extra oxygen makes it a stronf oxidant thats why its destructive to tissues and extremely corrosive. theres also a diffrence in structure-- |dw:1414518874059:dw|
