MCQ
Which of the following is the wrong statement?
  • A
    $ONCl$ and $ONO^-$ are isoelectronic.
  • B
    $O_3$ molecule is bent
  • C
    Ozone is violet-black in solid state
  • D
    Ozone is diamagnetic gas.

Answer

$(a)$ Number of electrons in
$ \mathrm{ONCl}=3.2 \mathrm{e}^{-}$
$\mathrm{ONO}^{-}=24 \mathrm{e}^{-}$
Thus, $\ce{ONCl}$ and $\ce{ONO}-$ are not isoelectronic.
$(b) \mathrm{O}_{3}$ has bent shape structure. Central atom $O$ is $s p^{2}$ hybridised with $1$ lone pair of electrons.
$(c)$ Ozone is violet$-$black in solid state.
$(d) O_{3}$ has no unpaired electrons, thus it is diamagnetic.
