1.	On the basis of VSEPR theory predict the shape of the Ozone .
Answer» Solution :The RESONATING structure of ozone are : `:underset(..) overset(..)O - overset(..)O = underset(..) overset(..)O hArr underset(..) overset(..)O= overset(..)O - underset(..) overset(..)O:` The central o-atom is considered to have two BOND pairs and ONE lone pair of electrons (IE) it is of `AB_(2)E` type. Hence it is a bent molecule.
