There are 2 resonance structures for ozone.
Sulfur dioxide has three resonance structures. A singly bonded oxygen would have 3 unshared electron pairs while a doubly bonded oxygen would have 2. The sulfur has one pair.
After a lightning strike the air jumps to a temperature of roughly 4000 degrees Celsius and produces large quantities of the gas ozone or O3.
There are no natural supplies of hydrogen. It always has to be removed from something, and the commonest source is water (H2O). However, so far, there is no way to remove hydrogen from water that does not use more energy than the resulting hydrogen will produce. If a cheap way is discovered to separate water into Hydrogen and Oxygen then all our worries about global warming and peak oil will be over. A.K.A its renewable EDIT: correction: UV radiation naturally splits H2O molecules in the ocean, producing hydrogen and oxygen, which reacts with O2 in the air, forming ozone (O3). That is how the ozone layer formed. But yes, electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen is not very efficient at the moment. - Oscar
There a multiple elements that fit this description. Oxygen is a diatomic gas found in the earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen is also a diatomic gas found in the earths atmosphere. Thus, both of these elements fit the description.
There are 2 resonance structures for ozone.
Yes it has one resonance structure. O-O-O <--> O-O-O The double bond is the reason O_3 has a resonance it can be in two different places as shown above.
Sulfur dioxide has three resonance structures. A singly bonded oxygen would have 3 unshared electron pairs while a doubly bonded oxygen would have 2. The sulfur has one pair.
Two equivalent Lewis structures are necessary to describe the bonding in O3. These structures involve adding a double bond between each pair of oxygen atoms in alternate arrangements.
An oxygen atom has six valence electrons so there will be three different oxygen atoms with six valence electrons each (two sides with two v. electrons each and two sides with one v. electron each).

Resonance occurs when there is more than one possible structural bonding for a compound or polyatomic ion. For example, the structure for ozone (O3) requires one double bond and one single bond between the three oxygen atoms. Because the valence electrons are equally attracted to both oxygens to form the double bond with the molecule resonates, or continuously switches back and forth, between the two possible structures.

it depends on how many grams of it you are dealing with
There are 3 atoms in a ozone molecule. It is because of the chemical for the molecules i.e. O3.
