Draw the lewis structure of `H_(2)O_(2)` (hydorgen peroxide )

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To draw the Lewis structure of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the total number of valence electrons - Hydrogen (H) has 1 valence electron, and since there are 2 hydrogen atoms, they contribute a total of \(2 \times 1 = 2\) valence electrons. - Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons, and since there are 2 oxygen atoms, they contribute a total of \(2 \times 6 = 12\) valence electrons. - Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in H₂O₂ is \(2 + 12 = 14\) valence electrons. ### Step 2: Arrange the atoms ...
