O3 Resonance Structures
Compare the Lewis structure (including resonance structure) of ozone, O3, and dioxin, O2.
In O3 in O3 the O link can be described as a link. Does this mean that the bond length in ozone is greater than or equal to tse in the O2 molecule?
Larger than O2.
The Lewis O2 structure has a double bond between two oxygen atoms and two pairs of undivided electrons in each oxygen. The following figure shows the Lewis structure of O3 with two equivalent structures and hence its resonance.

O3 Resonance Structures
Compare the Lewis structure (including the resonance structure) of Ozone, O3, and Dioxin, O2.
The OA-O bond in O3 can be defined as ... Does this mean that the bond length in ozone is greater or less than tse in the molecule? O2?
More than O2
The Lewis O2 structure has a double bond between two oxygen atoms and 2 pairs of undivided electrons in each oxygen. The following figure shows the Lewis structure of O3 and the two equivalent structures and therefore their resonance.
