What is the process in which electricity converts oxygen into ozone?
The ozone created by electricity is still ozone.
How does lightning affect the ozone layer?
Lightning is a massive flow of electrons, that superheats gas to a conductive plasma state, and radiates broad spectrum energetic radiation... including ionizing radiation. Either the oxygen atoms in the plasma, or the ionizing radiation breaks apart oxygen molecules to make oxygen atoms, then some of these now-loose oxygen atoms combine with oxygen molecules to make ozone.
What will happen when ultra-violet rays convert normal oxygen into ozone?
When UV convert oxygen into ozone. The ozone again converts back. Thus forming a cycle.
How thunder helps our ozone layer?
Yes thunder makes ozone. It is because when thunder passes through oxygen due to electrical discharge the oxygen molecules disintegrate and thus form nascent ozygen which on reaction with oxygen molecule form ozone. This process is used in the formation of artificial ozone in an ozoniser. The pleasant smell during lightning is of the formation of ozone.
Why oxygen doesn't completely change into ozone?
Oxygen is present at ground level. It doesn't completely change into ozone.
What is the process in which electricity converts oxygen into ozone?
The ozone created by electricity is still ozone.
When lightning converts oxygen gas O2 into ozone it is a physical change?
When an electrical spark passes through air, it turns some of the oxygen into ozone. Lightning is a big electrical spark. So it is the lightning in the thunderstorm that creates the ozone. Some swimming pools in the United States use ozone instead of chlorine to kill the bacteria. Likewise some municipal water systems in Europe use ozone instead of chlorine to kill bacteria. They use sparks to turn the oxygen in air into ozone.

What is the process called when electricity can convert oxygen into ozone?
Thunder converts oxygen to ozone. It is a natural process.
What is an ozone converter?
An ozone converter contains a catalyst that converts Ozone (O3) into Oxygen (O2).
What instances where by the normal ozone is destroyed?
Ozone is destroyed by the CFC gases. CFC converts ozone to oxygen.
How does the lightning and thunder affect the ozone layer?
Lightning and thunder react with oxygen to form ozone. Thus they help in replenishing the ozone layer.
What is an converter?
An ozone converter contains a catalyst that converts Ozone (O3) into Oxygen (O2).
Can oxygen form ozone when it interacts with lightning.?
Yes.
Why all ozone does not change into oxygen?
All ozone does not change back into oxygen. It is because that ozone is continuously interacting with UV radiations.
What will happen when ultra-violet rays convert normal oxygen into ozone?
When UV convert oxygen into ozone. The ozone again converts back. Thus forming a cycle.
If 4.8g of oxygen gas is completely converted to ozone how many molecules of ozone would be produced?
4.8/16 moles of oxygen atoms converts to 1.6/16 moles of ozone molecules.
