Structure of H 2 O 2 is slightly different in gas phase and crystalline phase. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/6dccbe671fcc5d399323408052dfd511-.png" />

Q. Hydrogen peroxide has a non-planar structure. In gas phase of $H_{2} O_{2}$ , dihedral angle is $x^{\circ}$ and in solid phase at $110 K,$ its dihedral angle is $y^{\circ} .$ What are $x$ and $y$ ?

$9 0^{\circ}, 9 0^{\circ}$

$90. 2^{\circ}, 101. 5^{\circ}$

$111. 5^{\circ}, 90. 2^{\circ}$

$90. 2^{\circ}, 119. 5^{\circ}$

Structure of $H_{2} O_{2}$ is slightly different in gas phase and crystalline phase.
