Vedclass · Answer

(B) Both $O_2F_2$ and $H_2O_2$ have a non-planar,open-book structure.In both molecules,the central oxygen atoms are bonded to each other with a single bond,and each oxygen atom is further bonded to a terminal atom ($F$ in $O_2F_2$ and $H$ in $H_2O_2$).The dihedral angle in $O_2F_2$ is $87.5^{\circ}$,which is similar to the dihedral angle in $H_2O_2$ ($111.5^{\circ}$ in gas phase).Therefore,the shape of $O_2F_2$ is similar to that of $H_2O_2$.
