The electronic configuration for the oxygen atom is [math]1s^2 2s^2 2p^4[/math]. It must acquire 2 electrons to become an ion with a charge of -2 . Thus the electronic configuration for an [math]O^{2 -}[/math] ion is
Structure and Bonding: The Hydrogen Peroxide Molecule. Let's examine the hydrogen peroxide molecule, H2O2, in which the oxygen has an oxidation state of -1. Draw the Lewis dot structure of hydrogen peroxide and determine the bond order of the O-O bond. What type of geometry does each the oxygen have?
