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.

Is the shape of O2F2 similar to H2O2?

No, the shape of O2F2 is linear, whereas the shape of H2O2 is bent. This is due to the difference in the numbers of lone pairs and bonded pairs of electrons around the central atom in each molecule.


Why is the shape of H2O2 important to the enzyme catalase?

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.

What is the significance of the H2O2 dihedral angle in molecular geometry and how does it impact the overall structure of the molecule?

The H2O2 dihedral angle is important in molecular geometry because it determines the orientation of the hydrogen peroxide molecule. This angle impacts the overall shape of the molecule, affecting its reactivity and properties.


What is the shape of h2o2?

The best I can describe it is kind of a zig-zag shape: H-O-O-H, but with the H-O bonds coming off at an angle instead of in a straight line like that. There is (nearly) free rotation about the O-O bond. Picture URL is in the related link.
