Explanation of Structure:
In hydrogen peroxide, there are two hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms.
Each of the hydrogen atoms bond with one of the two oxygen and the two oxygen bonds
together like the picture above. There is a single bond between all atom and all
bonds are covalent bonds because it is a bond between nonmetals.
Percent Composition:
