The angular shape of ozone molecule ( O ₃ ) consists of

Options

  1. A1 sigma and 2 pi bonds
  2. B2 sigma and 2 pi bonds
  3. C1 sigma and 1 pi bonds
  4. D2 sigma and 1 pi bonds

Correct answer

D. 2 sigma and 1 pi bonds

Step-by-step solution

Single bond contains =1 bond Double bond contains =1 bond +1 bonds Triple bond contains =1 bond +2 bonds The molecule of O ₃ is bent with an angle 116.8^ and equal O-O distance of 128 pm . The ozone molecule consists of 2 sigma and 1 pi bonds. The angular shape of molecule is represented as
