Draw the lewis structure of ozone (o3) showing all possible resonance structures if there are any. determine the formal charge of each atom

Answer and Explanation:

Find enclosed the Lewis diagrams for ozone (O₃) resonance structures. The diagram shows the two main contributing structures (I and II) with their formal charges.

The formal charge (FC) is determined as follows:

FC= number of valence electrons in free atom - 1/2 (number of bonding electrons) - number of non bonding electrons

The O central atom has the formal charge +1:

FC= 6 - 1/2(6) - 2= +1

The O atom on the right in structure I and on the left in structure II has the formal charge -1:

FC= 6 - 1/2(2) - 6= 6 - 1 - 6 = -1

The O atom on the left in structure I and on the right in structure II has the formal charge 0:

FC= 6- 1/2(4) - 4= 6 - 2 - 4= 0

explanation:

hi! this is a great question and i can give you some examples but for now until i get some answer options to you this is all i can

examples:

global warming - using wind energy will stop using up electricity and save our

power - at times during strong winds this can be a very useful and environmentally safe use of power!
