BO 3 molecule is bent
COzone is violet-black in solid state
DOzone is paramagnetic gas

Correct answer

D. Ozone is paramagnetic gas

Step-by-step solution

A. O N C l = 8 + 7 + 17 = 32 e - ' O N O - = 8 + 7 + 8 + 1 = 24 e - (correct) B. central atom O is s p 2 hybridized with 1 lone pair, so bent shape (correct) C. Ozone is voilet-black in solid state. D. O 3 has no unpaired electrons, so diamagnetic (correct)
