Question

According to the Lewis formula of O 3 , the correct option is, σ bonds π bonds lone pairs of electrons 2 1 3, σ bonds π bonds lone pairs of electrons 2 1 4, σ bonds π bonds lone pairs of electrons 1 2 4, σ bonds π bonds lone pairs of electrons 2 1 6

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Ozone (O 3 ) is an oxygen allotrope composed of three oxygen atoms. Ozone has one double bond and one single bond in its Lewis structure. Additionally, two oxygen atoms in the O 3 Lewis structure have charges. The Lewis structure of O 3 can be deduced in various phases starting with the valence electrons of oxygen atoms. The ozone (O 3 ) molecule is composed of a core oxygen atom that is linked singly to one oxygen atom and doubly to another. Although this molecule has no net charge, the Lewis structures reveal a +1 charge on the central oxygen and a -1 charge on the singly bonded oxygen. The ozone molecule’s two resonance configurations are seen below. Hence, ozone has two sigma bonds, one pi bond and 6 lone pair of electrons.
