In the ozone molecule, what is the formal charge on the double-bonded terminal oxygen atom (marked 2 having two lone pairs)?

  1. \( +1 \)
  2. \( -2 \)
  3. \( -1 \)
  4. \( 0 \)

Correct answer · Option 4

\( 0 \)

Explanation

Terminal double-bonded oxygen has \( V = 6 \), \( L = 4 \), \( B = 4 \). \( \text{F.C.} = 6 - 4 - \frac{1}{2}(4) = 0 \).

Consider the following statements regarding hybridization and orbital characteristics: (A) Hybrid orbitals are always equivalent in energy and shape. (B) Promotion of an electron is an essential condition prior to hybridization. (C) A \( \pi \) bond is stronger than a \( \sigma \) bond because of greater extent of orbital overlap. (D) Only half-filled orbitals of valence shell take part in hybridization; fully filled orbitals can never participate. Which of the above statements is/are correct?→Consider the following isoelectronic pairs/species: \( \text{N}_2 \), \( \text{CO} \), \( \text{NO}^+ \), \( \text{F}_2 \), and \( \text{O}_2^{2-} \). Let \( S_1 \) be the sum of bond orders of \( \text{N}_2 \), \( \text{CO} \), and \( \text{NO}^+ \), and \( S_2 \) be the sum of bond orders of \( \text{F}_2 \) and \( \text{O}_2^{2-} \).

Assertion (A): Two isolated hydrogen atoms do not form a bond when their total potential energy increases as they approach each other. Reason (R): A covalent bond between two atoms is formed only when the net attractive forces overcome the repulsive forces and the system acquires minimum potential energy.
