That would be nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), and ozone (O3).

What is the name of the element that makes up the ozone layer of the Earth's atmosphere which protects potentially damaging electromagnetic radiation from reaching Earth's surface?
Ozone it is three oxygen molecules bonded together.
What bands the ozone together?
Three Oxygen. Though the ozone layer is unfortunately REALLY thin.
How many molecules are in the ozone?
There are three molecules in ozone. It can be man made from oxygen, with a high voltage electrical discharge, that splits the oxygen from two molecules into three which gives you ozone.
Is the ozone made out of three layers?
No, it is not. Ozone is a single layer.
What are the three molecules of oxygen?
ozone
What is ozone gas and what layer is it found in?
Ozone gas is a three atomic form of oxygen. It is found in the ozone layer inside the stratosphere.
Which chemicals are depleting the ozone layer?
Only oxygen can "build up" the ozone layer. The "ozone layer" contains some ozone which is just three oxygen atoms bound together. Oxygen is normally found as two atoms bound together as O2, but if an O2 molecule is struck with light at 215nm (or shorter) it will break into two individual oxygen atoms which can then bind to an O2 to form O3. O2 + photon > 2 O O2 + O > O3 (ozone) The ozone layer, like the rest of the atmosphere, is comprised of about 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen plus the usual host of trace gases... and the extra ozone.
What is ozone depletion?
Ozone depletion is the destroying of ozone molecules. These molecules are three atom. All the atons are of oxygen gas.
Is ozone an atom or molecules?
Ozone is a molecule of three bonded oxygen atoms: O3
What is the ozone layer that protects the earth from UV rays made of?
The ozone layer is made up of ozone gas. It is a three atomic form of oxygen atom.
What is an ozone depletion?
Ozone depletion is the destroying of ozone molecules. These molecules are three atom. All the atons are of oxygen gas.
What is a gas in the upper part of Earth's atmosphere?
Ozone is a gas whose molecules are made up of three oxygen atoms* bonded together that occurs naturally in the upper atmosphere._____________________________________*Not molecules, as in the question statement.
