The structures of hydrogen peroxide

\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\right)

in the solid and gaseous states are given below.

\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2

(l) is slightly more viscous than

\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}

(l). The correct option/s among the following is/are 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

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

Options

ABoth O atoms are near enough to cause repulsion between the electron lone pairs thus making the $\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O}$ bond susceptible for cleavage
BThe strong intermolecular H-bonding along with restricted rotation present in the liquid state of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$ make it more viscous than $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ (l)
CThe molecule gets twisted to minimize the repulsion between the lone pair and bond pair of electrons
DThe difference in the dihedral angles in the solid and gaseous states is a consequence of hydrogen bonding between the molecules

Correct answer

D. The difference in the dihedral angles in the solid and gaseous states is a consequence of hydrogen bonding between the molecules

Step-by-step solution

No solution
