Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The formula of hydrogen peroxide has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Atoms when lose or gain electron, an ion is formed. Ionic compound is made up of both cations and anions. Although the ions in the ionic compound possess net charge, the charge on the ionic compound as a whole is zero. Formula of the ionic compound is written by considering the least possible integer.
