    A)  The ozone molecule is angular in shape

    B)  The ozone is a resonance hybrid of two structures

    C)  The oxygen-oxygen bond length in ozone is identical with that of molecular oxygen

    D)  Ozone is used as germicide and disinfectant for the purification of air

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Due to resonance the bond order in ozone is 1.5, hence \[\text{O}-\text{O}\] bond length in \[{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\] is greater than \[\text{O}-\text{O}\] bond length in \[{{\text{O}}_{2}}.\]
