Solution and Explanation
Ozone oxidises $PbS$ to $PbSO _{4}$ and $NO$ to $NO _{2}$.
$PbS (s)+4 O _{3}(g) \longrightarrow PbSO _{4}(s)+4 O _{2}(g) $$NO (g)+ O _{3}(g) \longrightarrow NO _{2}(g)+ O _{2}(g)$
It oxidises aqueous KI at $pH \,9.2$ and acts as oxidising agent in the manufacture of $KMnO _{4}$.
It is a resonance hybrid of following two structures.
That's why the two oxygen-oxgyen bond lengths in this molecule are identical.
P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.
