The correct statement(s) about O3 is(are)
- A O-O bond lengths are equal.
- B Thermal decomposition of O3 is endothermic.
- C O3 is diamagnetic in nature.
- D O3 has a bent structure.
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
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

O-O bond lengths are equal is correct
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
