I've just did the test about this

and i choosed sp hybridization

but some of my friends did sp3 hybridization

and it's almost the same

sp has px and py for lone pair

and sp3 has 2 hybridorbital for lone pair too

i don't know whic one is correct

It is sp3 hybridization, there is two lone pair and two hydrogen elecron actively participating in hybridization for making bond with other two of oxygen.

The isomers of H2O2 could be cis and trans isomers. Cis and trans are when the H substituents are placed on the same or opposite sides of a molecule.

sp3 -- it has two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom with two lone pairs. Even though it has those lone pairs, the oxygen still uses all three p-orbitals to form its sp orbitals.

What is the hybridization of central atom in F2O?

The valence electrons of O is 6 and F is 7. 7x2= 14 + 6 =20 electrons in totalEach Fluorine makes a single bond with the oxygen atom. so that's 2 bonds right there.then fill up the fluorines so that they are satisfied. 16 electrons have now been used up. But the oxygen atom is still unsatisfied so you must give the oxygen atom 2 lone pairs. the total is now 20 electronsnow the hybridization of the oxygen atom which in this case is the central atom is determined by adding the total # of bonds together, it has 2 bonds with Fluorine and two lone pairs, add them up and u get 4 total bonds. 4 total bonds is = to sp^3
