How much ozone can you make with 9 oxygen particles?

The term "oxygen particles" is not well defined, since it might refer to either oxygen atoms or oxygen molecules. Chemists would never describe oxygen in terms of particles, they would be specific. Ozone is the O3 molecule, containing 3 oxygen atoms. If you had 9 oxygen atoms you could make three ozone molecules. But if you had 9 oxygen molecules, you could make 6 ozone molecules, since the oxygen molecule is O2 and contains two oxygen atoms.


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.


When the ozone molecule splits does it make another ozone molecule or many?

When the ozone molecule splits, it forms individual oxygen atoms. These oxygen atoms can either combine with other oxygen molecules to form new ozone molecules or combine with other molecules in the atmosphere. The process of ozone splitting and reforming is part of the Earth's natural ozone cycle.


What atoms make an ozone molecule?

Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms. The chemical symbol of ozone is O3 as the symbol of oxygen atoms is O.Most ozone found in our atmosphere is formed by an interaction between oxygen molecules and ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun. (Oxygen molecules make up about 21% of all gases in the earth's atmosphere; they consist of two atoms of oxygen and are therefore labeled O2).When ultraviolet (UV) radiation hits an oxygen molecule, it may cause the molecule to break apart into single atoms of oxygen (O2 + UV -> O + O). These atoms are very reactive, and a single oxygen atom can combine with a molecule of oxygen to form ozone (O2+ O -> O3).The individual ozone molecules make up what we call the ozone layer. It is not, however, an especially thick layer there are usually less than three ozone molecules for every ten million molecules of air. That is why ozone is known as a trace gas, meaning that only trace (very small) amounts are present. We are fortunate that these small amounts make a big difference.


Which gas is needed to make ozone in the ozone layer?

Ozone is formed from oxygen. Oxygen molecules (O2)are broken apart by ultraviolet (UV-C) light from the Sun. This makes two single oxygen atoms, which are very reactive. Most single oxygen atoms recombine directly to for O2 again. Some single oxygen atoms are temporarily stored on nitrogen (N2) molecules, and ozone is formed when this "loose assembly" contacts an oxygen molecule. Some oxygen atoms interact more or less directly with an oxygen molecule to form ozone.


What is the number of atoms in ozone?

There are three atoms in an ozone molecule: one oxygen atom in the center and two oxygen atoms on the sides.


How does the ozone in the stratosphere form?

Ozone is formed naturally in the upper stratosphere by short How_does_the_ozone_in_the_stratosphere_formultraviolet radiation. Wavelengths less than ~240 nanometers are absorbed by oxygen molecules (O2), which dissociate to give O atoms. The O atoms combine with other oxygen molecules to make ozone: O2 + hv -> O + O (wavelength < 240 nm) O + O2 -> O3Read more: How_does_the_ozone_in_the_stratosphere_form


How does lightning affect the ozone layer?

Lightning is a massive flow of electrons, that superheats gas to a conductive plasma state, and radiates broad spectrum energetic radiation... including ionizing radiation. Either the oxygen atoms in the plasma, or the ionizing radiation breaks apart oxygen molecules to make oxygen atoms, then some of these now-loose oxygen atoms combine with oxygen molecules to make ozone.


What components make up the ozone?

Ozone is made is oxygen molecules. It is a tri atomic molecule.


What happens during the ozone cycle?

Short Answer: It is the continuous formation of ozone from oxygen, and the decay of that ozone back to oxygen. Oxygen absorbs UV-B or more energetic radiation (most commonly from our Sun), and dissociates into two separate oxygen atoms. Some of these singlet oxygen atoms combine with an oxygen atom to form ozone. Ozone has several decay paths, but all leave an oxygen molecule at the end: # Ozone encounters another ozone or singlet oxygen and only oxygen results. Ozone is inherently unstable and this does happen. # Ozone absobs UV-B or more energetic radiation (again from the Sun most commonly) and dissociates into an oxygen molecule and a singlet oxygen atom (some few of which will make ozone again). # Ozone encounters the long list of things that ozone will attack, and ozone loses a single oxygen atom to the reaction. Only #3 removes net oxygen from the "pool" of oxygen. There are additional pathways of forming ozone, where a nitrogen molecule temporarily stores the singlet oxygen, until an oxygen molecule is encountered and the payload can be delivered. There are mechanisms that block this "handoff" also, and they also remove oxygen from the "pool".


What chemicals make up bad ozone?

Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms (unlike the normal oxygen molecules which contains only two oxygen atoms). All ozone has the same composition, there is only one kind of ozone. Whether ozone is considered to be good or bad depends upon the location of the ozone, not the composition. Ozone at high altitudes is good, because it protects us from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Ozone at ground level is bad, because it is harmful to our health if we inhale it.


When lightning converts oxygen gas O2 into ozone it is a physical change?

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.
