Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the molecular formula H2O2. It is a colourless and odourless liquid, which appears slightly more viscous than water.
Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizing agent, meaning that it readily releases oxygen atoms in chemical reactions. It is commonly used as a disinfectant, bleaching agent, and in the production of other chemicals. In its pure form, hydrogen peroxide is highly reactive and can be dangerous, but when properly diluted, it can be used safely for a variety of applications.
