The structures of hydrogen peroxide ( H ₂ O ₂ ) in the solid and gaseous states are given below. H ₂ O ₂ (l) is slightly more viscous than H ₂ O (l). The correct option/s among the following is/are

Options

  1. ABoth O atoms are near enough to cause repulsion between the electron lone pairs thus making the O - O bond sus
  2. BThe strong intermolecular H-bonding along with restricted rotation present in the liquid state of H ₂ O ₂ make
  3. CThe molecule gets twisted to minimize the repulsion between the lone pair and bond pair of electrons
  4. DThe difference in the dihedral angles in the solid and gaseous states is a consequence of hydrogen bonding bet
