Particle model for decomposing hydrogen peroxide (colors: H = white, O = red). Reactants (before): 2 molecules H₂O₂
  • H₂O₂: (H–O–O–H) and (H–O–O–H)
Products (after): 2 molecules H₂O and 1 molecule O₂
  • H₂O: (H–O–H) and (H–O–H)
  • O₂: (O–O)
Complete the conservation check by choosing the correct counts for H and O before and after.
