3-77 Ozone, O3, is an unstable blue gas with a characteristic pungent odor. In an ozone molecule, the connectivity of the atoms is O−O−O and both O−O bonds are equivalent.
(a) How many valence electrons must be present in an acceptable Lewis structure for an ozone molecule?
(b) Write two equivalent resonance contributing structures for ozone. Be certain to show any positive or negative charges that may be present in your contributing structures. By equivalent contributing structures, we mean that each has the same pattern of bonding.
(c) Show by the use of curved arrows how the first of your contributing structures may be converted to the second.
(d) Based on your contributing structures, predict the O−O−O bond angle in ozone.
(e) Explain why the following is not an acceptable contributing structure for an ozone molecule:
