Which of the following describes the sharing of a nonbonding electron pair on an oxygen molecule with an oxygen atom,resulting in an ozone molecule?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sharing of a nonbonding electron pair on an oxygen molecule with an oxygen atom in the formation of an ozone (O3) molecule is an example of a coordinate covalent bond. This type of bond forms when one atom provides both of the electrons for the shared pair. In this case, the oxygen molecule (O2) provides both electrons to form a new bond with the oxygen atom to create the O3 molecule.
