Dioxygen Difluoride
Formula: O2F2
it is important because the shape of h2o2 must be complementary to the shape of the active site of the calase enzyme. Enzyme substarate complex can be formed and enzyme product complex can then be formed. If h202 shape was not complementary of the shape of the active site of catalase h202 could not be broken down into water and oxygen. Without the enzyme present it would take days for the h202 to break down. It would eventually break but it would take a long time. So the shape is important because without h202 would not be able to bind with the active site.

The compounds of oxygen with fluorine are:OF2, O2F2, O3F2
We can draw it as H-O-O-H . However it is NOT linear molecule. The two H-O bonds are angled to the O-O bonds by about 94.8 o. Then the lone pairs of electrons on the oxygens repulse each other, so this twists the H-O bonds into two different planes , with and angler of 115 o between each plabne. So it is actually a 3-dimensional molecule. Have a look in Wikipedia under Hydrogen peroxide.

The molecular shape of HCOOH is trigonal planar, I believe...
