Slightly. "Oxygen" as it exists in the air, or if you buy a tank of it, is O2--two oxygen atoms bonded together. "Ozone" is O3--an unstable "allotrope" of oxygen.

How are the properties of ozone and oxygen different?

Oxygen and ozone are completely different in properties. Ozone is a pollutant on breathing, while oxygen is not.


How do cfc's destroy ozone chemically?

CFC's react with ozone to form oxygen. This forms a chain reaction.


How is oxygen in the ozone layer different from other layers in atmosphere?

Ozone is triatomic oxygen. (It has three oxygen atoms). 'Normal' oxygen is diatomic. (It has two oxygen atoms)


How are oxygen and ozone differernt?

Oxygen and ozone are different. Oxygen is the diatomic form of oxygen atmon while ozone is the triatomic form.


Why is an ozone molecule a compound?

An ozone molecule (O3) is considered a compound because it is made up of two different elements, oxygen (O) and forms a distinct molecule with a fixed ratio of their atoms. Each oxygen atom forms a covalent bond with the other two oxygen atoms, making it a chemically distinct substance.


How is the ozone molecule different from ordinary oxygen?

Normal oxygen is O2 whereas ozone is O3.


Is ozone a compound or an atom?

Ozone is neither a compound or atom, a compound is two or more different elements chemically combined, and an atom is a single small particle of an element. Well ozone's chemical formula is O3, so ozone is a molecule (two or more elements chemically combined, that are the same or different).


Why do oxygen gas and ozone have difefrent properties?

Oxygen and ozone have different properties. It is because of their atomic structure.


How is oxyen diffenet form ozone?

Oxygen is different in the number of atoms from ozone. Oxygen contains 2 atoms while ozone has 3.


When lightning converts oxygen gas O2 into ozone it is a physical change?

No, the conversion of oxygen gas (O2) into ozone (O3) by lightning is a chemical change because new molecules with different properties are formed. Physical changes do not involve the formation of new substances.


Is ozone a type of chlorine?

No, ozone is a type (allotrope) of oxygen. It is three oxygen atoms bonded into a molecule, and the central oxygen is very unhappy (missing an extra electron). So it is more chemically active than any form of chlorine.


What makes the ozone different than the oxygen that you breath?

Ozone is made of O3, whereas the oxygen you intake is O2.
