Solution

Structure of $O_{3}$ :
Ozone is an allotrope of Oxygen.
Ozone $(O_{3})$ is formed when a high voltage current is passed over $O_{2}$ .
In the structure of Ozone, there is $1$ double bond and $1$ single bond.
Because of resonance the double bond and charge keep changing their position.
Structure of ${NO}_{2}$ :
In Nitrogen dioxide $({NO}_{2})$ , Nitrogen is covalently bonded with $2$ Oxygen atoms.
Nitrogen is bonded by $1$ double bond and $1$ single bond with Oxygen.
Because of the resonance, the double bond between Nitrogen-Oxygen keeps changing its position.
