The molecule can be pictured as lying on the spine of a book open to an angle of 94o. The hydrogen atoms are present one on each cover and H-O bonds making angles of 97o with the O-O bond as shown in the figure given below

The structure of H2O2 is slightly different in the gas phase and crystalline phase.
