Ozone can be made as the result of a chemical reaction (some phosphorous reactions; interaction between NOx, VOC and purple-to-long-wave-UV), or recombination of an oxygen atom with an oxygen molecule (after UV or electrical discharge has dissociated an oxygen molecule into two oxygen atoms). Ozone has been produced in excess of 20 wt% in an oxygen gas stream with 0.5% nitrogen for use in semiconductor processing. Ozone has been concentrated to 25 wt% or higher. Liquid 100% ozone has been formed via condensation, and stored in a dewar. Common concentrations of ozone produced commerically is in the range of 4 - 12 wt% in oxygen. Ozone produced as smog, is a different, more complex story. Ozone in the tropopause (lower stratosphere) is usually in the range of 10 ppm (1 wt% is about 466 ppm in air). Ozone alerts are issued when tropospheric ozone reaches 0.8 to 1 ppm or higher.
In general, ozone is made by: * electrons from an electrical discharge shattering oxygen molecules (ozone generators, lightning, waterfalls, laser printers / copiers, room ionizers), * by UV-C or more energetic light doing the same thing (the ozone layer), * by less energetic light releasing an oxygen atom from an unstable NOx + VOC configuration (ground level ozone pollution), or * by a chemical process (some phosphorous compounds, for example). Adding a single oxygen atom (O) to an oxygen molecule (O2) makes ozone (O3).
Ozone is made naturally in atmosphere by UV. It is made by lightening at ground level.
The ozone is created by UV. It breaks oxygen which further reacts with it to form ozone.
Ozone is a tri oxygen molecule. It is formed by the action of UV light on oxygen.
You do not want to get rid of ozone. It protects us from the harmful UV rays of the sun.
Oxygen is combined with nascent oxygen in UV rays presence. Then ozone is created.
NO.ionizer does not convert oxygen into ozone. Ionizers do break apart oxygen, and nitrogen. Some of these loose oxygen atoms do end up making some ozone. Usually the ionizers are fitted with means to catalytically convert ozone back to oxygen.
When UV convert oxygen into ozone. The ozone again converts back. Thus forming a cycle.
Yes, arc welding does create ozone. It is because the temperatures created during arc welding convert the nearby oxygen to ozone.
Ozone is created by the oxygen molecules. When the UV falls on oxygen, ozone is formed.
Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen. It is the tri-atomic form of oxygen atom.

Thunder converts oxygen to ozone. It is a natural process.
CFCs convert ozone to oxygen. They are responsible for ozone layer depletion.
Uranus does not have a ozone layer. It does not have a oxygen and no UV radiation to convert it into ozone.
Ozone hole is constantly changing due to release of CFC gases. They convert ozone to oxygen.
CFC's are the reason for depletion ozone layer. CFC's convert the ozone to oxygen and render it useless to block UV radiation's.
CFC gases are responsible for the depletion of ozone layer. CFC convert ozone to oxygen and make it useless for the absorption of UV radiation.
Ozone depletion is depletion of ozone is in atmosphere. CFC gases which are pollutants are responsible for the depletion of ozone layer. CFC convert ozone to oxygen and make it useless for the absorption of UV radiation.
The source of ozone is actually the oxygen present in the high latitudes of the atmosphere. The UV rays are the ones which help to convert oxygen into ozone.
CFC gases which are pollutants are responsible for the depletion of ozone layer. CFC convert ozone to oxygen and make it useless for the absorption of UV radiation.
