Aside from the fact both hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol are used as disinfectants and for other cleansing purposes, there are some differences between the two. Hydrogen peroxide is a compound formed oxygen and hydrogen react chemically to give H2O2. From this chemical formula, the addition of another oxygen atom to water is what makes it to be called oxygenated water.
Hydrogen peroxide is used for so many things. It is used for certain procedures by dentists. It is used as a fuel additive in jets, rockets, etc. It can also be used to wash electronics. On the other hand, rubbing alcohol comes with different names such as isopropyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropanol.
