Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound which is pale blue color liquid when it is in pure form. It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent, and antiseptic. Concentrated hydrogen peroxide, or "high-test peroxide", is a reactive oxygen species and has been used as a propellant in rocketry. Its chemistry is dominated by the nature of its unstable peroxide bond. It is majorly manufactured by the anthraquinone process.
