Which requires a shorter wavelength to break- one of the bonds in the molecule Ozone or Oxygen?

Both ozone and oxygen absorb UV-C or more energetic light, and are broken apart by it. Only ozone can absorb the less energetic (longer wavelength) UV-B, to protect the DNA of surface life on Earth.

What is the atomicity of oxygen in oxygen molecule?
Two or diatomic in O2 molecule.
How many atoms does oxygen have in the molecule?
One molecule of Oxygen contains two atoms.
How many atoms are there in an oxygen molecule O(2)?
ONE oxygen molecule (O2) contains two atoms of oxygen (O).
Does an oxygen molecule usually have two oxygen atoms?
Yes, oxygen is a diatomic molecule, meaning it naturally forms O2.
How many hydrogen atoms in an oxygen molecule?
None. An oxygen molecule contains two oxygen atoms and nothing else.
Which structure is the statement below most likely referring to A large glucose molecule requires facilitated diffusion but an oxygen molecule does not.?
A semipermeable membrane is a large glucose molecule that requires facilitated diffusion but an oxygen molecule does not.
What structure is the statement below most likely referring to A large glucose molecule requires facilitated diffusion but an oxygen molecule does not?
A large glucose molecule requires facilitated diffusion but an oxygen molecule does not is a semipermeable membrane.
What molecule is used during aerobic respiration?
Cellular respiration can be aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, anaerobic respiration does not need oxygen.
What molecule is the source of oxygen?
oxygen is a molecule
How is ozone formed?
Ozone has molecular formula O3. Ozone is formed when monatomic oxygen encounters an oxygen molecule, or when N2O5 decays. Monatomic oxygen is formed when UV light of 215nm or shorter, or an energetic electron, dissociates an oxygen molecule. These oxygen atoms are called free radicals. ie they have at least one unpaired electron. Because of this, free radicals are very reactive. An oxygen atom will then react with an O2 (oxygen) molecule to form ozone. Additonally, there are biological pathways where ATP can generate ozone (the roots of marigolds produce it when attacked by predators).
The complete breakdown of a glucose molecule during oxidative respiration requires six oxygen molecules is that true or false?
true
How many protons are in an oxygen molecule?
There are 8 protons in an oxygen atom. There are two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule. Therefore, there are 16 protons in an oxygen molecule
Is an oxygen molecule an organic molecule?
No, it's not organic (an organic molecule has to contain carbon.)
Is oxygen 02 a atom or a molecule?
it is a molecule with two oxygen atoms..
What is the atomicity of oxygen in oxygen molecule?
Two or diatomic in O2 molecule.
Is oxygen molecule a covalent bond?
yes oxygen molecule is covalent
Is the oxygen you breath in a diatomic molecule?
Oxygen has a diatomic molecule - O2.
