The angular shape of the ozone molecule () consists of:

  1. A
    sigma and pi bond
  2. B
    sigma and pi bonds
  3. C
    sigma and pi bonds
  4. D
    sigma and pi bond

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Shutterstock Explore The structure of Ozone () can be represented as a resonance hybrid of two main structures. In either structure:The central oxygen atom is bonded to one terminal oxygen atom by a single bond (which is sigma bond).The central oxygen atom is bonded to the other terminal oxygen atom by a double bond (which consists of sigma and pi bond).Total count:Sigma () bonds = Pi () bonds = Thus, the molecule consists of sigma and pi bond.
