Answer:
A coordinate bond in ozone?
Explanation:
We would normally represent the bond ozone molecule with formal charge separation.....i.e.
O=..O+−O−; from left to right as we face the page, each oxygen atom has 8, 7, and 9 electrons associated with that centre, and hence the formal charge designation, as each oxygen nucleus necessarily has 8 positive nuclear charges. Of course the charges can be distributed over the entire molecule by resonance, but the central oxygen in the molecule is sp2−hybridized to a first approx. with ∠O−O−O≤120∘, about 117∘.
