H(2)O(2) is :...

`H_(2)O_(2)` is :

A

poor polar solvent than water

B

better polar solvent than `H_(2)O`.

C

both have equal polarity.

D

better polar solvent but its strong auto - oxidising ability limits its use as such.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Although `H_(2)O_(2)` is a better polar solvent than `H_(2)O`.
However it cannot be used as such because of the strong auto - oxidation ability.
