A) The double bond in ozone switches back and forth between the two outer oxygen atoms
B) Each atom in ozone is connected to another atom by 1.5 bonds.
C) An ozone molecule contains one single bond and one double bond
D) None
Answer:- C) An ozone molecule contains one single bond and one double bond
The correct answer is ‘An ozone molecule contains one single bond and one double bond.’ The double bond in ozone is fixed between the central oxygen atom and one of the outer oxygen atoms. The other bond between the central oxygen atom and the remaining outer oxygen atom is a single bond.
The statement that the double bond in ozone switches back and forth between the two outer oxygen atoms is incorrect. The double bond is fixed in place, and does not switch back and forth.
