No, O3 does not have an odd number of valence electrons, it has 12e-
Explanation: Oxygen by itself has a total of 6 valence electrons, and since ozone (O3) is made of three Oxygen's it will be 6e- X 3 which yields 18e- . But since these three elements are (covalent) bonded together with a single and double bond you need to subtract 2e- and 4e- which will give us the final answer of 12e-
You can now conclude that it has an even number of valence electrons.

How many valence electrons in o3?
16, oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and there are two atoms in O216 (8 + 8)
What are the resonance structures of O3?
An oxygen atom has six valence electrons so there will be three different oxygen atoms with six valence electrons each (two sides with two v. electrons each and two sides with one v. electron each).
How many unshared electrons and bonding electrons exist around the central atom in ozone O3?
two, six
What properties of oxygen make it a nonmetal?
Elemental oxygen is found as a diatomic gas O2 or the reactive triatomic gas O3 rather than as a metal. Chemically it is considered to be a non metal as it forms ionic compounds with many metals. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons and has to 'gain' two more electrons to be stable.
What is the oxidation number of O3?
THe oxidation number for 'O3' is zero(0). O3 is ozone, and each oxygen atoms forms two single bonds with each of the other oxygens, forming a triangular arrangement.

What number month is March?
(3) March is the third month.
Why molecular formula of ozone is O3?
O3, with a molecular mass of 48 grams per mole
Is 03 non-polar?
It is polar. Due to a total of 18 electrons being shared between the three atoms with six valence electrons brought per atom, the potential lewis structures position the central O atom between the remaining two O atoms with a double bond between the central O and one of them and a non-bonding pair of electrons. This creates a 'bent' molecular geometry with a net dipole moment, equating to the structure being deemed as polar.
What is radical oxidation?
A radical is a molecule or an atom with unpaired electrons and is very reactive.
What is the steric number of O3?
3 (2 bonding sites & 1 lone pair)
What is the oxidation number for O in O3?
0. The oxidation state of an element is always zero.
Why is o3 gas bad for the ozone?
Ozone is O3
