Question

Which of the following is not a true statement about ozone?

• A. Both the O--O bonds in O\(_3\) are of equal length.
• B. Bond order lies in between 1 and 2.
• C. O--O bond angle in O\(_3\) is approximately 120°.
• D. Ozone reacts with acidified K\(_2\)Cr\(_2\)O\(_7\) and oxidizes it.

Hint:

Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent, but its reactions with different substances can vary based on the conditions and reactants involved.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Ozone (O\(_3\)) is a powerful oxidizer, and it is known to react with various substances.
The statement in option (d) is not correct because ozone does not react with acidified potassium dichromate (K\(_2\)Cr\(_2\)O\(_7\)) in this manner.
Instead, ozone is typically involved in oxidation reactions with other substances, but this specific reaction does not occur in this context.
Thus, the correct answer is (d).
