Asking us to do two things.
00:02
First, to construct the lewis dot structure for h202, and second, to compare information about that dot structure to a table 18 .2, according to which, and i just sort of summarize the relevant information here, if the bond order equals one, meaning if it's a single bond, and if there are no unpaired electrons, then the bond length is about 149.
00:28
So we know that there are two hydrogens here and hydrogen has a valence of one, meaning it's going to have one bonding electron, and we know that oxygen has a valence of six, meaning there are going to be six valence electrons around the oxygen.
00:46
In order for that to be consistent, we can go ahead and just try to draw the bonds between them and then make sure the valence checks out.
00:55
So each of our hydrogens does have one bond.
00:59
It's one valence electron is appropriately bonded...
