In H2O2 ,the oxidation number of oxygen is -1,it can readily convert to water in which the oxidation number of oxygen is -2 by reduction reaction,and convert to molecular oxygen in which the oxidation number of oxygen is zero (0) by oxidation reaction,hence H2O2 act as both oxidizing and reducing agent
