Shape of $\mathrm{O}_2 \mathrm{~F}_2$ is similar to that of

Step-by-step solution

$\mathrm{O}_2 \mathrm{~F}_2$ and $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$, both have open book type structure.
In $\mathrm{O}_2 \mathrm{~F}_2$, one $\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O}$ bond and two $\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{F}$ bonds are lying in different planes, i.e. this molecule like $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$ has non-linear and non-planar structure.
