Ozone and oxygen are allotropes.
Atmospheric oxygen that you breth is the molecule O2 .
Ozone is oxygen that you cannot bresth, it is the molecule O3.
O2 has the structure O=O ; A double covalent bond
Ozone has a triangular structure, each oxygen forms one bond with each of the other two oxygen atoms. This triangular structure can break open and form a (free) radical.
What else can I help you with?
Why Ozone is above Oxygen in atmosphere while its density is more than Oxygen?
Ozone is found where it is formed. Energetic light from the Sun breaks down oxygen and nitrogen, and some of the oxygen ends up forming ozone. It decays too rapidly to diffuse in significant amounts, either ground-to-stratosphere or stratosphere-to-ground.
Can Ozone be changed into Oxygen?
The process of conversion of ozone into oxygen is a more spontaneous one than the conversion of oxygen into ozone. High amount of energy is released when ozone is broken down into oxygen. The reaction is as follows: 2O3 ---------> 3O2 + Energy
A gas in the air formed by the addition of an oxygen atom to an oxygen molecule?
Ozone is a gas formed by the addition of an oxygen atom to an oxygen molecule (O2). Ozone plays a crucial role in the Earth's stratosphere by acting as a shield against ultraviolet radiation from the sun. However, at ground level, ozone can be a harmful air pollutant.
What are the names of the stable forms of oxygen?
O2 - "oxygen" O is a diatomic molecule, which means it exists as molecules of two atoms bonded together, it's the oxygen we need to breathe O3 - "ozone" the triatomic allotrope of oxygen is the less stable elemental form. In the lower atmosphere it exists as pollution, but in the ozone layer of the outer atmosphere it is a beneficial layer protecting the earth from the ultraviolet rays of the sun
What is the number of oxygen atoms in ozone?
3 atoms (03) Ozone is the triatomic form of oxygen ok, well oxygen isn't the only thing we breath we also breath nitrogen and a whole bunch of other gases. the difference between oxygen and ozone is ozone is o3 meaning it has 3 oxygen atoms instead of just one. hope i help
How does ozone layer differ from oxygen?
Oxygen is O2. Ozone is O3.
How is oxygen that you breathe different to the oxygen that makes up the ozone layer?
The oxygen that we breathe has 2 oxygen atoms in each molecule. Ozone has 3 oxygen atoms in each molecule which makes it a more powerfully oxidizing form, decaying to normal O2 in the process.
How many elements are ozone part?
There is one element, oxygen, in ozone. Each molecule of ozone contains three atoms of oxygen.
Ozone is a form of oxygen true or false?
It is true. Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen.
What is the difference between the oxygen you breathe and the ozone located in the earths stratosphere?
Oxygen in the atmosphere is O2, two atoms of oxygen. Ozone, no matter where it is in the atmosphere or in a process, is O3, three atoms of oxygen.
What is chemical symbol of oxygen?
O is the element oxygen. The Oxygen that we breathe is O2. The Oxygen in the ozone layer is O3.
Name the two types of oxygen that found in atmosphare?
Either the oxygen gas that we breathe, which is O2, or ozone, which is O3.
The air that you mostly breathe is oxygen carbon dioxide ozone or nitrogen?
The air that we breathe in 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases. We only need the oxygen though, so we breathe out the other gases with the carbon dioxide that our body produces during respiration. So to answer your question, it is nitrogen, but we breathe it in and then out- we don't use it. The only gas we use is oxygen to breathe.
What kind of oxygen atoms make up the ozone layer?
The ozone layer is composed of three oxygen atoms bonded together, forming O3 molecules. These ozone molecules are formed when oxygen molecules (O2) are broken apart by ultraviolet radiation from the sun and then recombine to form O3.
Which gas is the kind of oxygen that you breathe and can absorb ultraviolet radiation?
Ozone absorbs UV, but is toxic to breath!
Can an element have more than one elemental formula?
Yes. For instance, oxygen can form as O2, the normal oxygen that we breathe, and O3, which is ozone.
Is it safe to breathe the ozone?
No. It will lyse all the cells lining your esophagus, and destroy your lung tissue. Additionally, ozone with a concentration greater than about 10 wt% is explosive, and will spontaneously deflagrate back to hot oxygen at the tiniest spark.
