Which is the correct lewis structure for hydrogen peroxide, h2o2

Answer :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.  The valance electrons represented by the 'dot'.

The given molecule is, hydrogen peroxide

As we know that the oxygen has '6' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in hydrogen peroxide, = 2(1) + 2(6) = 14

According to electron-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 8 number of non-bonding electrons.

The electron-dot structure of hydrogen peroxide is shown below.

a polar bond is formed when electrons are shared unevenly between atoms
