0H2

0H2 is a chemical compound with the formula H2O2. It is commonly known as hydrogen peroxide and is the simplest peroxide (a compound with an oxygen-oxygen single bond). Hydrogen peroxide is a clear liquid, slightly more viscous than water. It is a strong oxidizing agent and is used as a disinfectant, bleaching agent, and propellant in rocket engines. In dilute solutions, it is used as a hair bleach and as a mild antiseptic. Hydrogen peroxide is also used in the production of various chemicals, including sodium percarbonate and peracetic acid. It is relatively stable and can be stored for long periods, but it decomposes slowly to water and oxygen. The decomposition is accelerated by heat, light, and certain catalysts. Hydrogen peroxide is non-flammable but can react violently with reducing agents, organic materials, and certain metals. It is also toxic if ingested or inhaled, and can cause skin and eye irritation.
