(i) Draw the gas phase and solid phase structure of `H_(2)O_(2)`.
(ii) `H_(2)O_(2)` is a better oxidising agnet than water . Explain .

Explanation

For answer, consult section 9.16
(ii) `H_(2)O_(2)` is a better oxidising agent than `H_(2)O` because unstable and releases oxygen readily to form more stable compound i.e. `H_(2)O`
`2H_(2)O_(2) ot 2H_(2)O+O_(2),DeltaH=-196.0kJ`
Therefore, it is better oxidisting agent than water.
