Q. Which is false about $H_{2}O_{2}?$
A) Act as both oxidising and reducing agent
B) Two OH bonds lie in the same plane
C) Pale blue liquid
D) Can be oxidised by ozone
Explanation
(b)
$H_{2}O_{2}$ is pale blue liquid, it can be oxidised by ozone. $H_{2}O_{2}$ acts as both oxidising and reducing agent. The value of dipole moment of $H_{2}O_{2}$ is 2.1 D which suggests it cannot be planar. In fact it has open book like structure.
