No. Oxygen (O2) is linear, by virtue of only being two atoms. But the chemical bonds of ozone (O3) bend it around into a triangle, similar to the molecular structure of water.

What is the molecular geometry of O3?

linear, o-o-o **************2nd Opinion ************* Nope, it's bent. VSEPR theory predicts a double bond, a single bond, and a lone pair on the central oxygen atom. You can't really get linear out of that.

At 298 K oxygen O2 and ozone O3 have different properties because their?

differences in properties are due to their different molecular structures. Oxygen (O2) has a linear structure and is a diatomic molecule, while ozone (O3) has a bent structure with three oxygen atoms bonded together. This difference in structure leads to variations in reactivity and stability between the two molecules.
