Answer:

Option A is correct;

A.) The atoms are arranged differently in each molecule

Explanation:

Water and hydrogen peroxide are made of the same elements: oxygen and hydrogen. However, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has 1 more oxygen than water (H2O).

Hydrogen peroxide is very unstable and breaks down readily into water and a single oxygen molecule.

And also the arrangement of atoms is different in each molecule.

Water (H2o) is composed of the same elements as hydrogen peroxide (H2o2) these substances have different properties because:

  • A.) The atoms are arranged differently in each molecule

The element of water which is made up of two hydrogen 2H and oxygen is of the same element with hydrogen peroxide.

However, we should note that H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) has more number of oxygen than H2O (water).

As a result of this, even though they have the same element, they are of different particles because their atoms are arranged differently.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A
