The angular shape of ozone molecule $\left(\mathrm{O}_3\right)$ consists of

The angular shape of ozone molecule $\left(\mathrm{O}_3\right)$ consists of
  1. 1 sigma and 2 pi bonds
  2. 2 sigma and 2 pi bonds
  3. 1 sigma and 1 pi bonds
  4. 2 sigma and 1 pi bonds

Solution

Key Idea : Single bond contains $=1 \sigma$ bond Double bond contains $=1 \sigma$ bond $+1 \pi$ bond Triple bond contains $=1 \sigma$ bond $+2 \pi$ bond The molecule of $\mathrm{O}_3$ is bent with an angle of $116.8^{\circ}$ and equal $\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O}$ distance of $128 \mathrm{pm}$. The ozone molecule consists of 2 sigma and 1 pi bonds. The angular shape of ozone molecule is represented as :
