Compare the structures of H_(2)O and H_(2)O_(2) |
Answer» Solution :In WATER, Ois `sp^(3)` hybridized. Due to stronger lone PAIR-lone pair repulsions than BOND pair-bond pair repulsions, the HOH bond angle decreases from `109.5^(@)` to `104.5^(@)` Thus water MOLECULE has a bent structure. `H_(2)O_(2)` has a non-planar structure. The O H bonds are in different planes. Thus, the str `H_(2)O_(2)`is like an open book.
