Question
Given below are two statements :
Statement (I): Experimentally determined oxygen-oxygen bond lengths in the $\mathrm{O}_{3}$ are found to be same and the bond length is greater than that of a $\mathrm{O}=\mathrm{O}$ (double bond) but less than that of a single ( O - O) bond.
Statement (II): The strong lone pair-lone pair repulsion between oxygen atoms is solely responsible for the fact that the bond length in ozone is smaller than that of a double bond $(\mathrm{O}=\mathrm{O})$ but more than that of a single bond $(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O})$. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Select the correct option:
A
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
B
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
C
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
D
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
Due to resonance bond length is identical in ozone. Therefore statement I is true and statement II is false
