Is H2O2 symmetrical?


H2O2 Molecule Properties

  • The H2O2 molecule has no center of symmetry.
  • In rotation as a whole, the molecule remains rigid.

Hydrogen Bonding in H2O2

  • Each oxygen molecule will form two hydrogen bonds with two molecules of ${H_2}{O_2}$, resulting in four hydrogen bonds in a structure of hydrogen peroxide.

Polarity of H2O2

  • Because of two equivalent central atoms with two unshared pair of electrons and two single bonds, hydrogen peroxide is a polar molecule.
