The resonance forms of Ozone are-

Step by step solution

01

Concept Introduction

Resonance is a term used to describe delocalized electrons within molecules or polyatomic ions where the bonding cannot be represented using electron dot structures. Several such structures depict a molecule/ion with delocalized electrons.

02

Resonance of Ozone

Ozone, or \({{\rm{O}}_{\rm{3}}}\), has two primary resonance structures that contribute equally to the overall hybrid structure of the molecule. The \({\rm{18}}\) valence electrons required(\({\rm{6}}\)out of \({\rm{3}}\)bonds and \({\rm{12}}\)as lone pairs on the oxygen atoms) are reflected in all structures.

Below are the resonance forms of Ozone-

Therefore, the resonance forms of ozone are obtained.
