Which of the following statements regarding ozone is not correct?
- A The Ozone molecule is angular in shape
- B The Ozone is a resonance hybrid of two structures
- C The Oxygen-Oxygen bond length in ozone is identical with that of molecular oxygen
- D Ozone is used as germicide and disinfectant for the purification of air.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) The Oxygen-Oxygen bond length in ozone is identical with that of molecular oxygen
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Hints : Due to resonance the bond order in ozone is 1.5 , hence \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O}\) bond length in \(\mathrm{O}_3>\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O}\) bond length in \(\mathrm{O}_2\)
