The angular shape of ozone molecule () consists of:
1 sigma and 2 \pi bonds
2 sigma and 2 \pi bonds
1 sigma and 1 \pi bonds
2 sigma and 1 \pi bonds
The ozone () molecule has an angular (bent) structure and is a resonance hybrid of two main canonical forms: and . In its structure, the central oxygen atom is connected to one terminal oxygen atom by a double bond and to the other by a single bond. Since a single covalent bond consists of one bond, and a double bond consists of one and one bond, the molecule contains a total of 2 bonds and 1 bond.
