Which of the following is incorrect ?

Options

A. `O_2` is weaker oxidant than `O_3`
B. `O_2` has larger bond length than `O_3`
C. Both `O_2` and `O_3` are paramagnetic
D. `O_2` is linear and `O_3` is angular in shape.

Answer

C

Explanation

`O_2` is a weaker oxidising agent than `O_3`(A)
`O_3` has larger bond length than `O_2`(B)
`O_2` is linear and `O_3` is angular in shape (D).
Statement C is not correct.
Correct statement : `O_2` is paramagnetic while `O_3` is diamagnetic .
