Question

In the hydrogen peroxide molecule :
  1. all the four atoms are in the same plane
  2. two hydrogen atoms are connected to one of the oxygen
  3. OH bonds are polar but molecule is non-polar
  4. the four atoms are arranged in a non-linear and non-planar manner

A
two hydrogen atoms are connected to one of the oxygen
B
OH bonds are polar but molecule is non-polar
C
all the four atoms are in the same plane
D
