During the formation of the dimer $N_2O_4$ from two molecules of $NO_2$,the odd electron on the nitrogen atom of each $NO_2$ molecule pairs up. What is the resulting structure?

  • A
    $A$ weak $N-N$ bond is formed,two $N-O$ bonds become equal,and the other two $N-O$ bonds become unequal.
  • B
    $A$ weak $N-N$ bond is formed and all four $N-O$ bonds become equal.
  • C
    $A$ weak $N-N$ bond is formed and all four $N-O$ bonds become unequal.
  • D
    $A$ strong $N-N$ bond is formed and all four $N-O$ bonds become equal.

Given below are two statements :
Statement $I$ : Experimentally determined oxygen-oxygen bond lengths in the $O_3$ are found to be same and the bond length is greater than that of a $O=O$ (double bond) but less than that of a single $(O-O)$ bond.
Statement $II$ : The strong lone pair-lone pair repulsion between oxygen atoms is solely responsible for the fact that the bond length in ozone is smaller than that of a double bond $(O=O)$ but more than that of a single bond $(O-O)$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
