Because oxygen likes / requires two bonds, and ozone has a single oxygen atom with only a single bond.

Is ozone toxic?
i hope not that much but on splitting it gives NASCENT OXYGEN hence it is toxic but not that much effective it seems
What properties does ozone have that oxygen does not?
Ozone is a very useful gas. It absorbs most of the UV radiations from the sun.
Why does it matter which isotope of oxygen you breath?
Because some isotopes of Oxygen are toxic (ozone for example) !
Do plants grown in ozone get any benefit that plants not grown in ozone don't?
Ozone is toxic to plants, and plants exposed to ozone have stunted growth. Ozone directly affects the breathing structures in plants, much as it does for lung tissue. If they cannot respire correctly / easily, they die. Ozone is mixed with irrigation water, and sprinkled directly on the roots of things like cucumbers for control of nematodes (not done continuously... just once-a-week or so). Marigolds will produce ozone when predators attack its roots.
Can ozone machine while in use cause cracks to crown moulding?
Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent, but I wouldn't expect it to crack wood in any concentration that isn't actually toxic. If your crown molding is plastic, then maybe.

Which layer of the ozone has toxic effect?
Ozone present in the troposphere is also called as bad ozone. It is also a green house gas. It is the major constituent of the urban smog.

Is freon a poisonous substance?
- freons are toxic compounds - freons have a contribution to the ozone depletion in the atmosphere
Which gas is the kind of oxygen that you breathe and can absorb ultraviolet radiation?
Ozone absorbs UV, but is toxic to breath!
Which layer of the atmosphere contains the bad ozone?
The "bad ozone" is in the troposphere. It is no different from the ozone in the ozone layer. The problem is ozone is an irritant and can give rise to a number of toxic substances. This doesn't make a difference for us in when it is in the ozone layer, many miles above us, but when it is in the troposhere where we live we can feel its effects directly.
How do CFCs affect animals?
They don't. CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are non-toxic to humans and animals. They only kill ozone molecules.
When sulfur dioxide gas combines with water in the air what results lightning- toxic waste- ozone- or acid rain?
Acid rain.
Is oxygen toxic?
No, you need it to breathe. Yet too little or too much will kill you. It's not the toxin, it's the dose.
