The angular shape of ozone molecule ( O ₃ ) consists of
Options
- A1 sigma and 2 pi bonds
- B2 sigma and 2 pi bonds
- C1 sigma and 1 pi bonds
- D2 sigma and 1 pi bonds
Correct answer
D. 2 sigma and 1 pi bonds
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea : Single bond contains =1 bond Double bond contains =1 bond +1 bond Triple bond contains =1 bond +2 bond The molecule of O ₃ is bent with an angle of 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 ozone molecule is represented as :
