Answer:
Because this oxidation state lies between the extremes of the more common 0 and -2 oxidation states of oxygen, H2O2 can act as either an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent.

Explanation:
Atoms, ions, and molecules that have an unusually large affinity for electrons tend to be good oxidizing agents. Elemental fluorine, for example, is the strongest common oxidizing agent. F2 is such a good oxidizing agent that metals, quartz, asbestos, and even water burst into flame in its presence.
