Ozone Lewis Structure Resonance. There are a total of 18 electrons in the structure and so the following two structures are possible. These bonds keep interchanging their places and hence the ozone has resonant lewis structure.
These bonds keep interchanging their places and hence the ozone has resonant lewis structure. An example is the ozone o 3 molecule in figure 5 5. The resonance means the constant interchanging of the bonds between the three molecules in ozone.
The lewis structure of ozone has three oxygen atoms in a row.
It is not a ring although that might be tempting two resonance structures a lone pair on. Drawing the bond connectivities. An example is the ozone o 3 molecule in figure 5 5. The position of the atoms is the same in the various resonance structures of a compound but the position of the electrons is different.
