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

Answer

Correct option: A.
$ONCl$ and $ONO^-$ are isoelectronic.
(a) Number of electrons in

$\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{ONCl}=3.2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \\\mathrm{ONO}^{-}=24 \mathrm{e}^{-}\end{array}$

Thus, ONCl and 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.
