O3 oxygen make up the ozone. O2 oxygen is the oxygen that we breathe.
A chemical change.
Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms (unlike the normal oxygen molecules which contains only two oxygen atoms). All ozone has the same composition, there is only one kind of ozone. Whether ozone is considered to be good or bad depends upon the location of the ozone, not the composition. Ozone at high altitudes is good, because it protects us from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Ozone at ground level is bad, because it is harmful to our health if we inhale it.
Ozone is the type of oxygen which protects us from the harmful solar radiations. It is the triatomic form of oxygen.
It is not organic because it contains no carbon, and it is not a compound because it contains one kind of atom.
O3 is a molecule / compound, not element
Ozone is made up of oxygen atoms. It is the triatomic form of oxygen.
O3 oxygen make up the ozone. O2 oxygen is the oxygen that we breathe.
A molecule is an element if it contains only one kind of atom, like oxygen, O2, and chlorine, Cl2. A molecule is a compound if it contains more than one kind of atom, such as water H2O, or methane, CH4.
Both are diatomic gases: H2 and O2 but oxygen also has a triatomic variant: Ozone O3

Ozone absorbs UV, but is toxic to breath!

Ground level ozone is one kind of gas. Ozone. Three gases are required make ozone in the presence of violet or more energetic light from the Sun: oxygen, NOx and VOC (unburned fuel).
This really depends upon the kind of gas you are talking about. Nitrogen is a gas, and it does not react with oxygen at normal temperatures. Methane does react very readily with oxygen, although even then, you would need some kind of spark to set it off. A methane oxygen mixture does not so much burst into flames, as explode. It would burn all at once.
There is little evidence of such a compound.
