Given below are two statements:
Statement(I) : Experimentally determined oxygen-oxygen bond lengths in the 
are found to be same and the bond length is greater than that of a 
(double bond) but less than that of a single 
bond.
Statement (II) : The strong lone pair-lone pair repulsion between oxygen atoms is solely responsible for the fact that the bond length in ozone is smaller than that of a double bond 
but more than that of a single bond 
.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Due to resonance bond length is identical in ozone. Therefore statement I is true and statement II is false
