How have the final answers come out as 128pm and 128pm in the resonance hybrid structure of O3(ozone) ? Please explain.   With the increase in bond order, • bond enthalpy increases • bond length decreases Resonance Structures Equivalent Lewis Structures • Example: • Resonance structures of ozone (03) Here, I and II are resonance structures. Ill is the resonance hybrid. • Resonance structures of carbonate ion TOPICS

The solution is as follows:

1. The bond length is calculated using the bond order.


2. The bond order for the ozone bonds in 1.5, thus we have bond length as 128 pm.
