How does the lightning and thunder affect the ozone layer?

Lightning and thunder react with oxygen to form ozone. Thus they help in replenishing the ozone layer.


How thunder helps our ozone layer?

Yes thunder makes ozone. It is because when thunder passes through oxygen due to electrical discharge the oxygen molecules disintegrate and thus form nascent ozygen which on reaction with oxygen molecule form ozone. This process is used in the formation of artificial ozone in an ozoniser. The pleasant smell during lightning is of the formation of ozone.


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.


How does lightning affect the ozone layer?

Lightning is a massive flow of electrons, that superheats gas to a conductive plasma state, and radiates broad spectrum energetic radiation... including ionizing radiation. Either the oxygen atoms in the plasma, or the ionizing radiation breaks apart oxygen molecules to make oxygen atoms, then some of these now-loose oxygen atoms combine with oxygen molecules to make ozone.


Is ozone a nascent oxygen?

No, ozone is not nascent oxygen. Ozone is triatomic form of oxygen atom.


Is a ozone type of oxygen?

Ozone is actually the tri-atomic form of oxygen atom. Oxygen molecule combines with oxygen atom to form ozone.


Where do you get ozone oxygen?

Oxygen and ozone are allotropes. These are made of oxygen atoms. Ozone is its three atomic form.


What is ozone usually found in?

Ozone is an unstable form of oxygen found in high energy environments. You can smell it after a lightning storm because lightning creates a high energy state needed to form ozone. It is also found high in the atmosphere where highly charged particles from the sun can create it. But it is unstable and quickly breaks down to regular oxygen so I don't think you can buy it


Is the ozone in the atmosphere a form of carbon?

No its not. Ozone is a form of oxygen.


Ozone is a form of?
