Is `H_(2)O_(2)` planar in nature?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is planar in nature, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the molecular formula and structure of H₂O₂ Hydrogen peroxide has the molecular formula H₂O₂. Its structural formula can be represented as H-O-O-H, indicating that there is an oxygen-oxygen bond (peroxide linkage) between the two hydroxyl (OH) groups. ### Step 2: Analyze the bond angles and hybridization In H₂O₂, the oxygen atoms are sp³ hybridized. This hybridization results in a tetrahedral arrangement around each oxygen atom. The bond angles around each oxygen are approximately 109.5 degrees. ...
