Hydrogen Peroxide Lewis

The structure of hydrogen peroxide (Hydrogen Peroxide) is based on the Lewis theory. The oxygen atom is the center, and the hydrogen and oxygen atoms are connected by covalent bonds. The outer layer of the oxygen atom has six electrons, two of which are lone pairs of electrons. The hydrogen atom has only one electron, and shares an electron pair with the oxygen atom to form a bond.

The two oxygen atoms are also connected by a single bond, and the whole is in a polyline structure. This structure makes hydrogen peroxide chemically active and can participate in many redox reactions. Due to its special Lewis structure, the lone pair electrons on the oxygen atom can be used as electron donors to participate in chemical reactions, which is an important basis for its chemical properties.
