Why is ozone in stratosphere oxygen in troposphere when the mass of ozone is higher than oxygen?

Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is O2, at any altitude.
It's true that ozone molecules, O3, are heavier than regular oxygen gas O2, but mixtures of gases do not layer out by mass or density -- they thoroughly mix.
In the stratosphere, however, the higher levels of ultraviolet radiation produce fresh ozone from diatomic oxygen, so ozone concentrations remain higher in this region.

How chloride changes ozone to bad ozone?
There is no "good" or "bad" ozone. All ozone is O3. Ozone in the stratosphere protects us from ultraviolet radiation. Chlorine in the stratosphere interacts with the ozone there to convert it to O2 or normal oxygen, removing its ability to interact with UV. Ozone in the troposphere (ground level air) or the workplace is an air pollutant. Chlorine as no role in its formation or destruction.
What made the ozone so popular?
Ozone is a tri oxygen molecule. It is formed in a natural process by the action of UV light on oxygen molecule.Ozone is present in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere. It protects us from the harmful UV light of the sun.
The atomicity of oxygen in ozone is 1.5 times that of oxygen in oxygen molecule derive the formula of ozone?
Ozone at the higher levels of the atmosphere is a product of UV radiation acting on oxygen (O2) molecule. The higher energy UV radiations split apart some molecular oxygen (O2) into free oxygen (O) atoms. These atoms then combine with the molecular oxygen to form ozone as shown--- O2 → O + O (in the presence of UV) O + O2 → O3 (ozone)
Where you can find the ozone layer in thelayers of atmosphere?
where you can find the ozone layer is in the stratosphere
Does the stratosphere contains the ozone layer?
yes.
What layer of the atmosphere does the ozone appear?
The ozone appears in the stratosphere and troposphere. Lower stratosphere and higher troposphere contain it.
How is ozone in the stratosphere the same as the troposphere?
No. The ozone is stratosphere is good ozone. The ozone in troposphere is bad ozone.
How does ozone in the troposphere differ from ozone in the stratosphere?
In the troposphere, plants and animals can be harmed, but in the stratosphere, there is no life because in the troposphere is closest to earth n the air u breath is part of the troposphere. and in the stratosphere the air can affect your lungs
Is the troposphere closest to the ozone layer?
Troposphere is closest to stratosphere. The ozone is present in the stratosphere.
What are the comparisons of the ozone in the troposphere with its effect in the stratosphere?
Ozone in troposphere is a pollutant. Ozone in stratosphere acts as a protective shield.
Is the ozone concentrated in the Troposphere?
No, the ozone is not concentrated in troposphere. It is there in stratosphere.
Is ozone located in stratosphere or troposphere?
ozone is found in the stratosphere.
Which layer of atmosphere keeps in oxygen?
Troposphere keeps in most of the oxygen in it. Ozone, a form of oxygen is kept in stratosphere.
How is the ozone in the stratosphere the same in the troposphere?
The ozone in troposphere acts as a pollutant. The ozone in stratosphere protects us against UV rays.
What layers are ozone found?
The layers ozone is found is troposphere and stratosphere. The stratosphere is the second layer next to troposphere.
Why is ozone a very important gas in stratosphere but a pollutant gas in troposphere?
Ozone in stratosphere protects us from the UV rays. Ozone in the troposphere is a polluntant.
What is the layer directly above the troposphere?
The layer above the troposphere is the stratosphere.
