Question

Angular shape of ozone molecule 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

Correct Answer - D
In case of single bond, there is only one `sigma`-bond in case of double bond, there is one `sigma` and one `pi`-bonds while in case of triple bond, there is one `sigma` and two `pi`-bonds .Thus, angular shape of ozone `(O_3)` contains `2sigma` and `1pi` -bonds as shown below
