The correct options are
only only
The correct options are
only only
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Ozone 
is a bent molecule with a bond angle of about 
.
Thus, is incorrect.
The bond lengths of both O-O bonds are the same due to resonance.
It is less stable than oxygen and is electrophilic in nature. Thus, is incorrect.
Therefore, only and are correct statement.
