Question

The angular shape of ozone molecule $\left(O_3\right)$ consists of:

• A. $1$ sigma and $2$ pi bonds
• B. $2$ sigma and $2$ pi bonds
• C. $1$ sigma and $1$ pi bonds
• D. $2$ sigma and $1$ pi bonds

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$2$ sigma and $1$ pi bonds

There are one sigma and one pi bond in a double bond.

Thus, the angular shape of the ozone molecule (O${}_3$) consists of 2 sigma and 1 pi bonds.

Hence, the correct option is $D$
