Question

Draw a Lewis structure for O3 in which the central O atom obeys the octet rule, and answer the following questions based on your drawing. The number of unshared pairs (lone pairs) on the central O atom is: The central O atom forms single bonds. The central O atom forms double bonds.

Answer 1

Answer:

The unpaired electron pair on central atom = 1

The central atom form 1 single bond 1 double bond with oxygen atoms.

Explanation:

Ozone, $O_3$

Valence electrons of oxygen = 6

Only the valence electrons are shown by dots in the Lewis structure.

The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.

From the Lewis structure, it can be concluded that:-

The unpaired electron pair on central atom = 1

The central atom form 1 single bond 1 double bond with oxygen atoms.
