What is the difference between the structures of H 2 O and H 2 O 2 in gaseous phase?
Options
- AH 2 O and H 2 O 2 both have linear molecular structures in the gaseous phase.
- BH 2 O has a bent molecular structure, while H 2 O 2 with a bond angle of 104.5 o has a non-planar structure in
- CH 2 O has a bent molecular structure, while H 2 O 2 has a linear molecular structure in the gaseous phase.
- DH 2 O and H 2 O 2 both have tetrahedral molecular structures in the gaseous phase.
Correct answer
B. H 2 O has a bent molecular structure, while H 2 O 2 with a bond angle of 104.5 o has a non-planar structure in
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) H 2 O has a bent molecular structure, while H 2 O 2 with a bond angle of 104.5 o has a non-planar structure in the gaseous phase with dihedral angle between the planes being 111.5 o
