A) \[{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]is used as germicide for purification of air
B) In \[{{O}_{3}},O-O\]bond length is identical with that of molecular oxygen
C) \[{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]molecule is angular in shape
D) \[{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]is an oxidising agent
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
In \[{{\text{O}}_{3}},\text{O}-\text{O}\] bond length is not identical with that of the molecular oxygen. It is found to be intermediate of \[\text{O}-\text{O}\] and \[\text{O=O}\] bond lengths. This is due to resonance. In ozone bond angle of \[\text{O}-\text{O}-\text{O}\] is \[\text{116}\text{.}{{\text{8}}^{\text{o}}}\] and bond length \[(O-O)\] is\[1.278\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,.\]You need to login to perform this action.
