What is the bond angle in H2O2?

its either 180 or 104.5?
Original post by otrivine
good question let me see could it be 104.5 ? it has to either 104.5 or 180 ?


i read online but its defo not bent or linear they'r all sayin its 109* wtf is 109... lool pyramidal is 107 but thing is theres like 2 lone pairs on each oxygen :s

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: thats shocking how did they find out what is the structure like?i am sure there is a double bond between the oxygens ?

if there were a double bond between the oxygens then there wouldnt be an electron for hydrogen to be bonded to as theres 2 pairs of electrons on each side of the oxygen even with the double oxygen bond

but 4 electrons sharing right with 2 oxygen and 2 electrons between oxygen and hydrogen and another 2 electrons between oxygen and hydrogen so makes it 8 electrons and full outer shell that why i thought its linear? but how can you tackle these types of question?

seriously no clue lmao im predicted an a in chem in both unit 1 and 2 i dont get the bonding in h202 but thing is in jan 2012 paper i got the nh2h bonding right i cant seem to put my finger on h2o2... its cause nitrogen in nh2h is in group 3 so its -3 so it was easier to find out however o2 is in group 2 so it needs to gain 2 electrons and h needs to gain 1 electron x2 h x o = 2h 4o spare electrons. mhm so i rekon it would be a double electron in the middle of the bond. :3 still clueless lol it was in a paper in jan 2007 btw

Happy revision everybody!

Here's some:

what are the ionic side equations for the reaction of Mg with water.

how many full orbitals are there in aluminium (1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1) - think about it

define disproportionation
define a mole
define electronegativity
Has anyone got the jan 2012 paper?

1) do you want an equation with mg and water? or ionic you want
2) is it 6?
3) a redox reaction where an atom gets both oxidised and reduced
4)Amount of substance contating many particles as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12 of carbon-12 atom#
5) the measure of an atom to attract both of the electrons in a covalent bond

so what should i do for h2o2 if it comes up and what is the name pyramidal oh getting scared:redface:
Disproportionation - in which a chemical reaction where an element has been simultaneously reduced and oxidised.

Mole - the amount of any substance containing as many particles as their are exactly carbons atoms in 12g of the carbon-12 isotope.

Electronegativity - as the ability of an atom to attract the shaired pair of electrons in a covalent bond

It won't come up...
I personally think the definition of RAM, Calculating RAM, Calculating Empirical Formula, drawing covalent and ionic structures and hydrogen bonding, defining salt, calculating moles/conc/volume, Redox reactions is a MUST on tomorrows paper :wink:

It's not on the syllabus - if a weird one does pop up then you can say electron pairs repel, lone pairs repel more and you will get 2 marks out of a possible 3/4 :smile:

1) yeah, so Mg is oxidised, the equation for that. Then H2O is reduced, the equation for that. Doing the full equation helps.

2)correct.
3)say the same element is both ox and red, not the atom
4 and 5)sounds good.

how did you get that it is 6 full orbitals?

think about it. an orbital, is a region within an atom that can contain 2 electrons in opposite spin. In aluminium, there are 6 orbitals because 1s2, 2s2, 3s2, are all complete orbitals, and 2p6 is actually 3 orbitals, in one 'sub-shell'. similar question came up in jan 2012
