Concept Introduction:
The structure formula is the representation of the position of its atoms present in molecules along with the bonds which are present in between the atoms of molecule. There are two model which can help to detemine the sturcture of molecule: Lewis Model and VSEPR Model- The valence-shell electron-pair repulsion model.

Answer to Problem 10.17P
Following is structure formula of Hydrogen peroxide (
- Oxygen can form two covalent bonds and there are two unshared pair of electron present on each oxygen atom. Here both oxygen atoms are joined forming one single bond with hydrogen and two pairs are represnted with dots which is completing octet of oxygen.
- Hydrogen atom can form one covalent bond and there is no unshared pair of electron. Both hydrogen atoms are bonded with oxygen atoms and completing their octet.
Explanation of Solution
The structure of any atom is prepared with the help of Lewis model which explains guideline for bonding of atom. It guides about the covalent bonds which are formed in various combinations of single, double and triple bonds.
