Question

The angular shape of ozone molecule $(O_3 )$ consists of

• A. 1 sigma and 2 pi-bonds
• B. 2 sigma and 2 pi-bonds
• C. 1 sigma and 1 pi-bonds
• D. 2 sigma and 1 pi-bonds

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

2 sigma and 1 pi-bonds

Answer 2

In case of sing e bond, there is only one $\sigma$-bond, in case of double bond, theie is one a and one $\pi$-bonds while in case of triple bond, there is one a and two $\pi$-bonds. Thus angular shape of ozone $(O_3)$ contains $2\sigma$ and $1^{-1}$ one r s
