For ozone molecule consider the following
(A) It is a linear molecule with bond angle $180^{\circ}$
(B) It is an angular molecule with bond angle $117^{\circ}$
(C) The bond lengths of both $\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O}$ bonds are same
(D) With respect to oxygen it is thermodynamically more stable
The correct options are
(B), (C) only
(A), (B) only
(B), (D) only
(A), (D) only
Solution
Ozone $\left(\mathrm{O}_3\right)$ is a bent molecule with a bond angle of abóut $117^{\circ}$.
Thus, (A) is incorrect.
The bond lengths of both $\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O}$ bonds are the same due to resonance.
It is less stable than oxygen and is electrophilic in nature.
Thus, (D) is incorrect.
Therefore, only (B) and (C) are correct statement.
