(a) \(ONCl= 8+ 7+ 17= 32e^-\) \(ONO = 8 + 7 + 8 + 1 = 24e^-\) (correct)
(b) Central O-atom is \(sp^2\)-hybridised with 1 lone pair, so bent shape (correct).
(c) In solid state, ozone is violet-black. Ozone does not exist in solid state, thus incorrect.
(d) \(0_3\) has no unpaired electrons, so diamagnetic (correct).
Hence, the correct option is (C): Ozone is violet-black in solid state.
Given below are two statements.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Let $ P_n = \alpha^n + \beta^n $, $ n \in \mathbb{N} $. If $ P_{10} = 123,\ P_9 = 76,\ P_8 = 47 $ and $ P_1 = 1 $, then the quadratic equation having roots $ \alpha $ and $ \frac{1}{\beta} $ is:
