Ozone is made of three oxygen atoms bound together and which is written by chemists as O3. The ozone molecule can be represented as three balls and two sticks holding the three balls in place. The balls represent the oxygen atoms, and the sticks represent the chemical bonds that hold the oxygen together. The bonding is roughly this O-O=O, but the atoms are not inline. The molecule is slightly polar because of the triply bonded central oxygen atom and the bent shape. The molecule swaps which atom has the double bond periodically. It is unstable, it decays in time even at liquid ozone temperatures.

∙ 13y agoOzone molecule is a molecule formed by the combination of three oxygen atoms.
It is a resonance hybrid of two resonating structures and the two oxygen-oxygen bond lengths are equivalent i.e. 128 pm. The shape of the molecule is angular and the bond angle is of 117 degrees.
The ozone molecule is not much stable and readily decomposes to give Oxygen gas and nascent oxygen which makes it a great oxidizing agent.

which means we can stay safe from the sun
I believe the question is about the Molecule. not the layer itself. Yes ozone layer does protect us from UV rays of the sun, but what does the molecule do?

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.
Is ozone organic?
No ozone is not organic molecule. It is a pure inorganic molecule.
When the ozone molecule splits does it make another ozone molecule or many?
No.There is only a ozone layer proctecting the earth from ultraviolet rays.
Can ozone be plural?
No..ozone is something which is already plural. Ozone if called as singular can be pronounced as ozone molecule.
Is ozone a diatomic molecule?
No. Ozone (O3) is triatomic, having 3 oxygen atoms in each molecule.
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.
Is ozone a molecule of an element?
Ozone is a molecule. Its formula is O3.
What do you get when you remove 1 molecule from ozone?
You get nothing, since ozone is a molecule.
Is ozone organic?
No ozone is not organic molecule. It is a pure inorganic molecule.
The average relative mass of an ozone molecule is 48.0 you. An ozone molecule contains only oxygen atoms. What does this molecular weight indicate about the formula of the ozone molecule?
The ozone molecule (O3) has 3 oxygen atoms.
What happens when a CFC molecule comes near a ozone molecule?
When CFC molecule comes near ozone, it reacts with it. This leads to depletion of ozone layer.
Why ozone is molecule?
Ozone is O3. It is made up of 3 atoms so it is molecule.
What are found in the stratosphere?
The ozone molecule in found in the ozone layer. It is an allotrope of oxygen molecule.
What does the 3 in ozone stand for?
The ozone molecule is represented as O3. The no. 3 represent the no. of oxygen molecules present in the ozone molecule.
What supplies the ozone for the ozone layer?
Ozone is a trioxygen molecule. It is naturally fomed by the action of UV light on oxygen molecule.
Is ozone conductive?
No, ozone is not conductive. It is a dimagentic molecule.
Common name for O3?
O2 is just an oxygen molecule.
