What is the chemical formula structure of ozone?(a) O = O^+ – O^–(b) O^– – O = O^+(c) O = O^– – O^+(d) O^– = O^+ – OI got this question in exam.I want to ask this question from P-Block Elements topic in portion P-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (a) O = O^+ – O^–

The explanation is: According to the Lewis dot-structure, the central oxygen ATOM shares a total of three ELECTRONS as a consequence of which it bears a positive charge. The oxygen to the right FORMS tends to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself, thereby developing the negative charge.
