In the anion HCOO-  the two carbon-oxygen bonds are found to be of equal length. What is the reason for it?

1. Electronic orbits of the carbon atom are hybridized 
2. The C = O bond is weaker than the C - O bond 
3. The anion HCOO- has two resonating structures 
4. The anion is obtained by removal of a proton from the acid molecule

Consider the \(H_2O_2 \) and \(O_2F_2 \) molecules where X and Y are O-O bond length in \(H_2O_2 \) and \(O_2F_2 \) respectively.
Compare X and Y. 

1. X > Y
2. X < Y
3. X = Y
4. X and Y cannot be compared

Given below are two statements :
Assertion (A):

Experimentally, the oxygen-oxygen bond lengths in O₃ (ozone) are identical and lie between the bond length of an O=O double bond and an O–O single bond. 

Reason (R): The lone pair-lone pair repulsion between oxygen atoms is the sole reason why the bond length in ozone is shorter than a double bond (O=O) but longer than a single bond (O–O).
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False
2. (A) is False but (R) is True
3. Both (A) and (R)  are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
