Which of the following statements is correct regarding canonical forms of ion?

  1. A
    has non-zero dipole moment.
  2. B
    Dipole moment of is greater than that of .
  3. C
    Three canonical forms can be drawn for ion.
  4. D
    Three resonance structures can be drawn for ozone.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. has resonance where the double bond is shared between the three C-O positions. This leads to 3 equivalent canonical forms. (Correct)2. is trigonal planar and symmetrical, so .3. has a higher dipole moment than because in , the bond moments and lone pair moment add up, while in , they partially oppose each other.4. Ozone () has 2 main resonance structures.
