The exercise wants me to identify which element is being oxidized/reduced, and i got confused on this one.

 

H2O2(aq)  -> H20 + 1/2 O2(g) 

 

I labelled it as such:

H2O2(aq)  ->   H20  + 1/2 O2(g)

+1 -1              +1 -2             0

 

At which point, it looks like Oxygen is both being oxidized and reduced. What am I doing wrong?
