Answer:
The dihedral angle in H2O2 decreases in the solid state as compared to the gaseous phase due to the lone pair -lone pair repulsions between the oxygen's lone pairs of electrons
As the hydrogen peroxide is non planar in structure.
The dihedral angle of H2O2 in gas phase is 111.5°
The dihedral angle of H2O2 in solid phase is 90.2°
where as the decrease is seen due to the lone pair-lone pair repulsions between the oxygens lone pair.
