H2O2 is not heavy water. It is Hydrogen peroxide.
Heavy water id D2O made of Deuterium, a heavier isotope of hydrogen

H2O2 is not heavy water. Heavy water is water where the hydrogen atom has a neutron in it. It's chemical formula is sometimes expressed as D2O. The D stands for Deuturium. There is also a very heavy water that had Tritium

H2O2 is the formula for Hydrogen Peroxide, not heavy water.
Heavy water is also called Deuterium Oxide, or D2O. Deuterium is an isotope of Hydrogen.

h2o2 is hydrogen per oxide
the formula for heavy water is d2o where d meand deutrium
it is an heavy isotope of hydrogen
d2o is present in our normal drinking water itself in the ratio of 1:6000
drinking it will not cause any harm to people
it is mainly used in neuclear reactors as coolents
and about h2o2 it is to be kept in a dark container asit will disintegrate if kept exposed to light into water and oxygen and it becomes unfit to use . it is mainly used as a laborotory reagent and in some mredical treatments
hope ur doubt is cleard

It isn't. H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide.
Heavy water is usually written as D2O - deuterium oxide - which is water formed using two atoms of an isotope of hydrogen, deuterium, which has an additional neutron. Hence heavy water has a greater molecular mass.

D2O is heavy water, H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide

It never called heavy water but oxygenated water

I don't know where you are getting your info but H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide.

2H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide and it is called heavy water bcuz it has 4 oxygen atoms while water has only 2 oxygen atoms..

Because H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide.
Heavy water is deuterium oxide.
Don't drink any, or you may gain a lot of weight.
