The Lewis structure for \(\mathrm{O}_3\) molecule is given below. The correct formal charges on oxygen atoms labelled 1, 2, 3 are respectively.

- A –1, 0, + 1
- B +1, 0, – 1
- C +1, – 1, 0
- D 0, + 1, – 1
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) –1, 0, + 1
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\because \quad\) Formal charge \(=\) No. of valency electron in central atom \(-\left[\right.\) No. of lone pair \(+\frac{1}{2}\) No. of bond pair of electron] F.C for O labelled as \(1=6-[6+1]=-1\) F.C for O labelled as \(2=6-[4+2]=0\) F.C for O labelled as \(3=6-[2+3]=+1\)
