Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a chemical compound consisting of two hydrogen and two oxygen atoms, functioning as a powerful, environmentally friendly oxidizer that decomposes into water and oxygen. In its pure form, it is a very pale blue, viscous liquid, though it is typically handled as a colorless, aqueous solution. Commonly found in households at low concentrations (3%–6%) for cleaning and antiseptic purposes, it is widely utilized in higher concentrations for industrial bleaching, semiconductor manufacturing, and as a rocket propellant.
Due to its instability, it decomposes gradually, a process that is accelerated by heat, light, and contact with contaminants, requiring storage in specialized opaque containers.Natural Occurrence: It is generated in human and biological systems as a by-product of metabolism and is used by cells in signaling.
