Is it possible for for the two O-O bonds in O3 to have different O-O bond lengths or bond energies?
Is it possible for for the two O-O bonds in O3 to have different O-O bond lengths or bond energies? O3 has one double and one single bond. The bond energies for double and single bonds are different so would they be different or is there a different explanation?
-How would you determine the distance between the two terminal oxygen atoms on the ozone molecule? I know that it is bent but how would you know the angle for the molecule and how far apart the atoms are?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, the two bonds are different lengths. And the difference is expressed in the energies.
The freezing and boiling points can approximate the bond angle, as can its behavior in rapidly changing EM fields (magnetic moment). Not sure how they arrive at bond length. Maybe this will help you:
