Give structures, chemical properties of Heavy …

A peroxide is any compound which has two oxygen atoms bonded together. The O-O group is the peroxide group of the compound. And Hydrogen Peroxide is the simplest peroxide. The chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide is H₂O₂. It is a water molecule with one extra atom of oxygen,.

Properties of Hydrogen Peroxide

• Hydrogen Peroxide is an almost clear, pale blue liquid in its pure state
• It has an odour similar to that of nitric acid
• Hydrogen peroxide has a viscosity higher than water. It is about 40% denser than water
• It is acidic in nature.

Heavy water or deuterium oxide (D₂O) is a form of water that contains a large amount of the hydrogen isotope deuterium which is also known as heavy hydrogen.
1)It is colourless, odourless and tasteless mobile liquid heavier than water. Because of higher molecular mass there is a marked difference in physical properties of ordinary water and heavy water.
2)Dielectric constant of heavy water is lower than that of ordinary water therefore ionic compounds are less soluble in heavy water than in ordinary water.
