Question

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

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

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

2 sigma and 1 pi bonds

From the picture it is seen that there are 2 sigma bonds ,each sigma bond between the two oxygen atoms and there is one pie bond between central oxygen atom and left most oxygen atom. Hence there are 2 sigma and 1 pi bond in angular shape of ozone molecule.
