Dear student,

The maximum possible number of hydrogen bonds in which H2O2 molecule can participate is 6. Each H atom can form one hydrogen bond. 

 
Thus, two hydrogen atoms forms two hydrogen bonds. Each oxygen atom can form 2 hydrogen bond. 
 
Thus, two oxygen atoms can form 4 hydrogen bonds. Thus, total 6 hydrogen bonds can be formed by on molecule of hydrogen peroxide.
Thank you
