Solution
Structure of ozone:
Ozone (O3) is an angular molecule. The two O – O bond lengths in the ozone molecule are identical, 128 pm, and the O – O – O bond angle of about 117°. It is a resonance hybrid of two canonical forms.
Uses of ozone:
- Ozone is used for air purification at crowded places like cinema halls, tunnels, railways, etc.
- In sterilizing drinking water by oxidising all germs and bacteria.
- For bleaching ivory, oils, starch, wax and delicate fabrics such as silk.
- In the manufacture of synthetic camphor, potassium permanganate, etc.
