Question
c. describe the symmetries of the hydrogen peroxide molecule. select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice.
a. the hydrogen peroxide molecule has the following rotational symmetry(ies) °, point symmetry, and does not have reflectional symmetry.
(use a comma to separate answers as needed. do not include the degree symbol in your answer.)
b. the hydrogen peroxide molecule has line(s) of symmetry, point symmetry, and the following rotational symmetry(ies) °.
(use a comma to separate answers as needed. do not include the degree symbol in your answer.)
c. the hydrogen peroxide molecule has line(s) of symmetry and does not have rotational symmetry.
d. the hydrogen peroxide molecule does not have any symmetry.
Step1: Recall hydrogen - peroxide structure
The $H_2O_2$ molecule has a non - planar structure. It has point symmetry. The rotational symmetry of the hydrogen peroxide molecule is 180°. It does not have reflectional symmetry.
