Detailed Solution

A mixture of hydrazine and 40−60 percent H2​O2​ solution is used as rocket fuel. 

The single bond between the two oxygen atoms in H2​O2​ is weak so that, H2​O2​ readily fragments into either H and HO2​ or two OH radicals. Either way, the resulting species are free radicals, which means, they are very reactive and this makes H2​O2​ a very powerful oxidizing agent. 

Due to this reason, it has been utilized in rocket propulsion, when it is used to oxidize the hydrazine fuel, liberating hot gases (steam and oxygen), which propels the rocket forward.
