Ozone is O3 as oxygen is O2. This means that three Oxygen atoms join together to form a molecule.
No, ozone is a type (allotrope) of oxygen. It is three oxygen atoms bonded into a molecule, and the central oxygen is very unhappy (missing an extra electron). So it is more chemically active than any form of chlorine.
When ammonia mixes with oxygen, it can form nitrogen gas and water through a chemical reaction. On the other hand, when ammonia mixes with ozone, it can react to form nitrogen gas, water, and nitrogen dioxide, which is a harmful air pollutant.
No, the conversion of oxygen gas (O2) into ozone (O3) by lightning is a chemical change because new molecules with different properties are formed. Physical changes do not involve the formation of new substances.
An ozone molecule (O3) is considered a compound because it is made up of two different elements, oxygen (O) and forms a distinct molecule with a fixed ratio of their atoms. Each oxygen atom forms a covalent bond with the other two oxygen atoms, making it a chemically distinct substance.
"Ozone" has no antonym.
In the ozone layer, ozone relensihes. It is replenished by UV rays.
Process of ozone destruction is a chemical process. Chlorine there reacts with ozone.
CFC's react with ozone to form oxygen. This forms a chain reaction.
Ozone is neither a compound or atom, a compound is two or more different elements chemically combined, and an atom is a single small particle of an element. Well ozone's chemical formula is O3, so ozone is a molecule (two or more elements chemically combined, that are the same or different).
A spaceshit passing does not break ozone. It replenishes automatically unless altered chemically.

Chlorine is doing it chemically. It reacts with it.
Slightly. "Oxygen" as it exists in the air, or if you buy a tank of it, is O2--two oxygen atoms bonded together. "Ozone" is O3--an unstable "allotrope" of oxygen.
The Ozone Layer!! It filters out most of the sun's biologically harmful ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation and prevents it from reaching the earth's surface.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) can reach the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere and break down ozone molecules. This depletion of ozone can lead to an increase in ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth's surface, which may have harmful effects on human health and the environment. International efforts, such as the Montreal Protocol, have been implemented to phase out the use of CFCs and protect the ozone layer.
The ozone layer is believed to have issues with CFC's. Water vapor, the most common greenhouse gas, also affects the levels of ozone in our atmosphere. The issue of greenhouse gases though, is not normally connected to the concept of ozone depletion.
Yes, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other man-made chemicals like halons are primarily responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer. When released into the atmosphere, these chemicals break down ozone molecules, leading to the thinning of the ozone layer, particularly over the poles.
