Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidising agent, both in the acidic and alkaline medium. In acidic medium: `H_(2)O_(2)+2H^(o+)+2e^(ɵ)to2H_(2)O` In alkaline medium: `H_(2)O_(2)+2e^(ɵ)to2overset(Theta)(O)H` Hydrogen peroxide acts as a reducing agent towards powerful oxidising agents. In acidic medium: `H_(2)O_(2)to2H^(o+)+O_(2)+2e^(ɵ)` In alkaline medium, however, its reducing nature is more effective. `H_(2)O_(2)to2H^(o+)+O_(2)+2e^(ɵ)` `H_2O_2` behaves as a bleaching agent due toA. oxidising natureB. reducing natureC. acidic natureD. unstable nature
