The correct statement(s) about \(O_3\) is (are)

1. \(O-O\) bond length are equal
2. Thermal decomposition of \(O_3\) is endothermic
3. \(O_3\) is diamagnetic in nature
4. \(O_3\) has bent structure

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A, C, D

The correct answer is option 1. A, C, D

• (A) O–O bond lengths are equal → Correct
  Due to resonance, both O–O bonds in ozone have equal bond length.

• (B) Thermal decomposition of (O_3) is endothermic → Incorrect
  Decomposition of ozone to oxygen releases heat, so it is exothermic.

• (C) (O_3) is diamagnetic in nature → Correct
  All electrons in ozone are paired.

• (D) (O_3) has bent structure → Correct
  Ozone has a bent (angular) molecular shape.
