  2. B Thermal decomposition of O3 is endothermic.
  3. C O3 is diamagnetic in nature.
  4. D O3 has a bent structure.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) O-O bond lengths are equal.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In ozone due to resonating structures O - O bond lengths are same


O-O bond lengths are equal is correct
2 O 3 3 O 2 + 6 Kcal
It is exothermic decomposition (O3 unstable). Thermal decomposition of O3 is endothermic is wrong
O3 is diamagnetic in nature   Is correct due to all paired electrons.
O3 has a bent structure  Is correct with a bond angle of 116.8o and bent structure
