Question

What are the Lewis structures of ozone, and hydrogen peroxide? How are they used in equations?

Answer 1

I don't know what equation you are trying to write...........

Explanation:

But ozone is a (bent) neutral, elemental molecule. We could advance a Lewis structure of `O=stackrel(+)O-O^-`, with individual oxidation numbers from the left of `0, +I, -I`. Of course the average oxidation number is `0`.

For hydrogen peroxide, `H-O-O-H`, we have an oxygen oxidation number of `-I`. Ozone and hydrogen peroxide (and of course dioxygen) are all potent oxidants; ozone would be very fierce.
