  1. Draw a Lewis structure for the ozone molecule, O3. (The order of atom attachment is O—O—O and they do not form a ring.) Chemists use ozone to cleave carbon-carbon double bonds. 
  2. Draw four contributing resonance structures; including formal charges.  
  3. How does the resonance model account for the fact that the length of each O—O bond in ozone (128pm) is shorter than the O—O single bond in hydrogen peroxide (HOOH, 147pm) but longer than the O—O the double bond in the oxygen molecule (123pm)?
