Description of an ozone molecule

Answer 1

Ozone is made of three oxygen atoms bound together and which is written by chemists as O3. The ozone molecule can be represented as three balls and two sticks holding the three balls in place. The balls represent the oxygen atoms, and the sticks represent the chemical bonds that hold the oxygen together. The bonding is roughly this O-O=O, but the atoms are not inline. The molecule is slightly polar because of the triply bonded central oxygen atom and the bent shape. The molecule swaps which atom has the double bond periodically. It is unstable, it decays in time even at liquid ozone temperatures.

Answer 2

Ozone molecule is a molecule formed by the combination of three oxygen atoms.

It is a resonance hybrid of two resonating structures and the two oxygen-oxygen bond lengths are equivalent i.e. 128 pm. The shape of the molecule is angular and the bond angle is of 117 degrees.

The ozone molecule is not much stable and readily decomposes to give Oxygen gas and nascent oxygen which makes it a great oxidizing agent.

Answer 3

it stops the full sun rays beaming down on us.

which means we can stay safe from the sun

I believe the question is about the Molecule. not the layer itself. Yes ozone layer does protect us from UV rays of the sun, but what does the molecule do?

Answer 4

An ozone molecule consists of three oxygen atoms bonded together (O3). It is a pale blue gas with a pungent smell and is found both in the Earth's upper atmosphere and at ground level. Ozone plays a crucial role in the ozone layer, where it absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun and protects life on Earth.

Answer 5

Ozone is a gas molecule made up of 3 Oxygen atoms and that absorbs ultra-violeviolet radiation from the sun

Answer 6

Ozone is a tri oxygen molecule. It is formed in a natural process by the action of UV light on oxygen molecule.

Answer 7

Ozone is a molecule with formula O3. It is bent in shape and has sp and sp2 hybridised oxygen atoms.

Answer 8

The make up of ozone molecules is three oxygen atoms. They form and combine to form the ozone molecule.

Answer 9

The ozone molecule is an allotrope of oxygen. Oxygen has 2 atoms of oxygen while ozone has 3.
