Why is ozone thermodynamically less stable than oxygen?
Options
- ABecause ozone has a lower bond dissociation energy than oxygen.
- BBecause ozone has a higher heat of formation than oxygen.
- CBecause ozone has a higher entropy than oxygen.
- DBecause ozone has large negative Gibbs energy change(∆G) for its conversion into oxygen.
Correct answer
D. Because ozone has large negative Gibbs energy change(∆G) for its conversion into oxygen.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) Because ozone has large negative Gibbs energy change(∆G) for its conversion into oxygen.
