Hydrogen peroxide has stronger intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding) compared to alcohol, leading to stronger attractions between its molecules that require more energy to break apart and evaporate. This results in hydrogen peroxide evaporating more slowly than alcohol. Additionally, hydrogen peroxide has a higher molecular weight compared to most alcohols, contributing to its slower evaporation rate.
