Which of the following is false about H ₂ O ₂ ?
Options
- AAct as both oxidising and reducing agent
- BTwo OH bond lie in the same plane
- CPale blue liquid
- DCan be oxidised by ozone
Correct answer
B. Two OH bond lie in the same plane
Step-by-step solution
H ₂ O ₂ is a pale blue liquid, it can be oxidised by ozone. H ₂ O ₂ acts as both oxidising and reducing agent. The value of dipole moment of H ₂ O ₂ is 2.1 D . Which suggest it cannot be planar infact it has open book like structure. Two O - H lie in different plane
