Question

The correct statement(s) about $O_3$ is/are

$O-O$ bond lengths are equal

thermal decomposition of $O_3$ is endothermic

$O_3$ is diamagnetic in nature

$O_3$ has a bent structure

Answer

$O-O$ bond lengths are equal

Explanation

Solution

The correct options are:(A,C,D).

O3, ozone is a V shaped molecular geometry, with oxygen atoms attached to double bonded. They are the same in length. The bent shape is due to the presence of a lone pair. Ozone is diamagnetic in nature as there are no unpaired electrons present.

Therefore, option A, C and D are correct.
