Question

as o3 molecule has neutral charge then why does it show resonance ? besides it's charge are cancelled out?? plz answer​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ozone with both of its opposite charges creates a neutral molecule and through resonance it is a stable molecule. The extra electron that created the negative charge on either terminal oxygen can be delocalized by resonance through the terminal oxygens.

There are two resonance structures for O3 (ozone). - Resonance structures are necessary to show how electrons are distributed in chemical bonds in a molecule. ... From the Lewis structure, we see that the bond order for O2 is 2 (a double bond), whereas the bond order for O3 is 1.5 (one and a half bonds).
