Atmospheric oxygen contains three oxygen atoms per molecule. This is known as ozone and is formed in the upper part of the atmosphere by solar rays. O2 molecules are split apart by the energy of solar rays. Then single oxygen atoms bond with oxygen molecules to form O3 molecules. UV radiation from the sun also dissociates O3 molecules back into single O and O2.
What else can I help you with?
How is a molecule of ozone different from a molecule of atmospheric oxygen?
Ozone is a tri oxygen molecule. While the ozone layer is formed by the collection of large number of ozone molecules.
How many atoms are there in a molecule of oygen?
There are 2 oxygen atoms in 1 molecule of oxygen.
How many hydrogen atoms in an oxygen molecule?
None. An oxygen molecule contains two oxygen atoms and nothing else.
How many atoms are there in an oxygen molecule O(2)?
ONE oxygen molecule (O2) contains two atoms of oxygen (O).
Is a molecule of ozone contains two atoms of oxygen and one atom of nitrogen?
No, a molecule of ozone (O3) contains three oxygen atoms, not nitrogen. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a molecule that contains one nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms.
How many atoms does oxygen have in the molecule?
One molecule of Oxygen contains two atoms.
How many oxygen atoms are in each sugar molecule?
there are 11 atoms
A water molecule contains two hydrogen elements and one oxygen atom what is wrong with this question?
It should read "atoms" instead of "elements" So it should beA water molecule contains two hydrogen ATOMS and one oxygen atom.
What atoms are found in a glucose molecule?
Glucose is a carbohydrate, which means it contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Specifically, glucose contains 6 carbon, 6 oxygen, and 12 hydrogen atoms.
What is an oxygen molecule with atoms instead of two?
I assume you are talking atmospheric ozone, which has three oxygen atoms in it's molecular structure.O3
How many oxygen atoms per molecule in 4Na2SO4?
In the compound 4Na2SO4, each Na2SO4 molecule contains four oxygen atoms. Therefore, for four Na2SO4 molecules, the total number of oxygen atoms is 4 molecules × 4 oxygen atoms/molecule = 16 oxygen atoms.
What common molecule contains oxygen?
Water (H2O) is a common molecule that contains oxygen. Each water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom.
