Ozone is not an element, it is an allotrope of oxygen. Ozone is formed in our atmosphere from a single oxygen atom combining with an oxygen molecule (O2). It was first produced in the lab by Christian Friedrich Schönbein in 1840. It was identified as O3 in 1865 by Jacques-Louis Soret and was the first discovered / recognized allotrope.
