Question

Which of the following is the wrong statement ?
A. `ONCI` and `ONO^(-)` are not isoelectronic.
B. `O^(3)` molecule is bent
C. Ozone is violet-black in solid state
D. Ozone is diamagnetic gas.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A::B::C::D
(1)`ONCl=8+7+17=32e^(-)`
(2) Central atom `O` is `sp^(2)` hybridised with `1` lone pair,so bent shape(correct)
(3)Ozone is violet-black in solid state.(Ref. NCERT & shriver atkins)
(4)`O_(3)` has no unpaired electrons, so diamagnetic (correct)
