Ozone is a gas composed of three oxygen atoms. It is a pale blue gas with a distinct smell and is present in Earth's stratosphere where it plays a crucial role in absorbing ultraviolet radiation.

Ozone contains of 3 argon atoms?

NO!!! Argon is a Noble(Inert) gas. It exists as single atoms (monatomic). Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen . Atmospheric oxygen ( We breath) is a molecule of two atoms of oxygen represent by 'O2'. or 'O=O'. Ozone being an allotrope of oxygen exists in the upper atmosphere. It is a molecules of THREE atoms of oxygen represent by 'O3'. These three atoms are arranged in a triangular formation. Any one oxygen atom makes two bonds, one each to the other two oxygen atoms.


Are atoms a compound?

Atoms are elements, not compounds. Compounds are composed of two or more different atoms. For example, the element carbon, with the symbol C, is composed of atoms. If you combine carbon and oxygen to make carbon dioxide (CO2) then you have a compound, composed of molecules, each of which have 3 atoms, one carbon and two oxygen.


What are the 3 atoms of ozone molecules?

There are more than three. There is nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), and argon (Ar) as the biggest three. And ozone (O3) is a peak of about 9 ppm.


What are examples of coumpounds?

Elements are materials composed of only ONE TYPE of atom, for example oxygen gas, which is O2. There are two atoms in the molecules in the molecule, but they are both oxygen atoms. In comparison, the gas CO2 gas is a compound because it contains two different kinds of atoms, carbon and oxygen. Compounds are molecules composed of two or more DIFFERENT types of atoms. For example, water, which is H2O, contains two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom. NaCl, sodium chloride (table salt) contains an atom of sodium and an atom of chlorine. There are millions of examples; the bottom line is that compounds have to have more than one type of atom in the molecule. Glucose, a sugar we all need to supply cells with chemical energy, is C6H12O6, meaning one molecule of glucose has 6 atoms of carbon, 12 atoms of hydrogen, and 6 atoms of oxygen, so glucose is composed of 3 different elements and thus, it is a compound and not an element.


How many oxygen atoms are in a molecule of ozones?

3 oxygen atoms, so one and a half oxygen molecules. 3 Oxygen atoms joined by a single and a double bond in a bent shape, it is one molecule. A normal molecule of Oxygen has two atoms joined by a double bond.


What is the formula for aluminum 3 oxide?

The formula for aluminum oxide is Al2O3. It is composed of two aluminum atoms bonded to three oxygen atoms.


What elements are in O3?

Ozone is the allotrope of oxygen molecule. It is the triatomic form of oxygen.


How are ozone and greenhouse gas alike?

They are both composed of oxygen atoms. Oxygen is O2, whereas ozone is O3.


What 3 element make up fatty acids?

Fatty acids are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.


How many oxygen atoms are in molecular oxygen?

Most oxygen molecules are composed of two atoms of oxygen, and we frequently refer to oxygen as O2 (or O2) for this reason. Oxygen can also exist as the molecule called ozone, which is O3. Ozone is unstable, and will revert to O2 in a few minutes.


3 elements which exist as 2 atom molecules?

Hydrogen gas (H2): Made up of two hydrogen atoms bonded together. Oxygen gas (O2): Composed of two oxygen atoms bonded together. Nitrogen gas (N2): Contains two nitrogen atoms bonded together.
