Question

The structure of H₂O₂ is

(a) spherical 

(b) non-planar

(c) planar 

(d) linear

Answer 1

The correct option is: (b) non-planar

Explanation:

In H₂O₂, the O-H groups are not in the same plane. So it has non-planar structure. It has a hall-opened book structure in which the two O-H groups lie on the two pages of the book. The angle between two pages of the book is 94° and H - O - O bond angle is 97°.
