Structure of the MoleculeHydrogen peroxideIf you look at the dot diagram of H2O2 you will see the O-O bond. And you will see that both oxygen atoms have two pairs of unbound electrons each. This brings into effect the valence shell electron repulsion theory.
Structure of the MoleculeHydrogen peroxideIf you look at the dot diagram of H2O2 you will see the O-O bond. And you will see that both oxygen atoms have two pairs of unbound electrons each. This brings into effect the valence shell electron repulsion theory.The hydrogen atoms will repel the unbonded electrons of oxygen. This gives a bent molecular shape. And it has a bod angel of 109.5° In its crystal form (solid state) this angel reduces due to hydrogen bonding within the molecules being formed.
It is Hydrogen Peroxide or H2O2 in which there is a peroxy bond and oxygen shows valency of -1
======================
It is used as an antiseptic and in more concentrated forms as both, an oxidising agent and a reducing agent...
============================
Its structure resembles an open book...
=========================
The boiling point of H2O2 has been extrapolated as being 150.2 °C, approximately 50 degrees higher than water.
=================
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), is a nonplanar molecule with (twisted) C2 symmetry.
=====================
Pure hydrogen peroxide will explode if heated to boiling, will cause serious contact burns to the skin and can set materials alight on contact.
=============
For these reasons it is usually handled as a dilute solution (household grades are typically 3-6%).
