D

Explanation:

Option D is the correct Lewis structure of ozone.

Ozone is known to be an allotrope of oxygen which has three atoms of oxygen.

In the Lewis structure of ozone, one pair of oxygen is actually double-bonded while the other is single-bonded. In this structure, two oxygen atoms carry charges. In the drawing the Lewis structure of ozone, we discover that one oxygen atom of the ozone has a -1 charge and while another oxygen atom of the ozone has a +1 charge.

the number of valence electrons for each molecule or ion is shown beneath the structure. remember hydrogen will not have more than two electrons. this hydrogen is part of a covalent bond (sharing two electrons). a double bond here would cause hydrogen to share four electrons with phosphorus.
