Question:

Consider the decomposition reaction of ozone into oxygen: 2O3(g) → 3O2(g) Suppose the mechanism for this reaction is just the collision between two ozone molecules, as shown in the following elementary step:

11 :O: T :O: 0: || O: :O:

Shown here is a possible transition state. Indicate which bond(s) are breaking and which bond(s) are forming (some lone pairs of electrons are omitted to make the diagram clearer).
