hi
each oxygen atom in a peroxide is sp3 hybridized. There is a covalent sp3-sp3 bond between the two oxygens. Each oxygen atom is covalently linked to its respective hydrogen via. a sp3-s bond. Remaining two lone-pair electrons on each oxygen are localized, in sp3 orbitals.
There is no pi-bond interaction between the two oxygens, since this will involve a higher energy orbital configuration, and is therefore not the preferred hybridization path.
hope helps uh
