Water (h20) is composed of the same element as hydrogen peroxide (h202) how do their properties compare?
2 answers:
The formation of compound takes place by the combination of two or more different atoms. The combination of atoms takes place in a definite proportions. Compounds with different proportions of atoms have different properties.
Water () is composed of the same element as hydrogen peroxide (
) that is hydrogen (
) and oxygen (
). The combination of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water is in
ratio whereas the combination of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in hydrogen peroxide is in
ratio. So, the properties of water and hydrogen peroxide are different as the arrangement of atoms is different in the compound.
Hence, the correct option is they have different properties because the arrangement of atoms is different.

Answer:
Redox reaction (Reduction-oxidation reaction) is simply the addition of oxygen in a reactant (oxidation) & its reduction in any other reactant (reduction).
For example, Fe2O3 + 3CO ⟶ 2Fe + 3CO2 is a redox reaction because Fe gets reduced while CO is oxidised (refer to the attachment).
________
Note: Remember that the equation should match the law of conservation of mass which states that the mass of the products should match the mass of the reactants always as energy can neither be gained or reduced.
