explanation, please w 1. (15 points) Ozone (03) is an unusual molecule in that even though all three atoms have the same electronegativity, the molecule is polar. a. Draw the Lewis structure of ozone, including resonance forms and formal charges. b. What are the symmetries (irreducible representations) of the 2s and 2p orbitals on the central O atom? (Make sure to use the correct point group of the molecule!) Construct reducible representations of the group orbitals of the two outer O atoms (s, px, Pr. and p:) and reduce them to their component irreducible representations. Sketch the resulting SALCs according to the symmetries you determine for them. d. Match the symmetries of the central atom AOs and group SALCs to construct an MO diagram for ozone. Include both o andre interactions, and put the MOs in approximate order of energy. e. Indicate the direction of the dipole moment in ozone. How does your Lewis structure illustrate the polarity of Oz? How does your MO diagram illustrate the polarity of Oz? C.
