Q. The correct order in which the $O - O$ bond length increases in the following is

A) $O_{2} < O_{3} < H_{2}O_{2}$
B) $H_{2}O_{2} < O_{3} < O_{2}$
C) $O_{3} < O_{2} < H_{2}O_{2}$
D) $O_{2} < H_{2}O_{2} < O_{3}$
Explanation

(a)
[image:4_image142.emf]
Due to resonance, in $O_{3}$,the $O - O$ bond length will be in between $O = O\$and $O - O$
