True or false oxygen atoms are not red in color?

True. Oxygen atoms are colorless, meaning they do not have a visible color in their pure form. The color we perceive when we see oxygen is often due to how it interacts with other substances or the environment.


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.


Diatomic elements are generally stable when they are in molecular form true or false?

True. Diatomic elements, such as oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), and hydrogen (H2), are generally stable in their molecular form due to the strong bonding between the two atoms.


CFCs once ised in many household products contributed to the creation of ozone hole true or false?

it does not cause the creation of the ozone.


What is the chemical formula of ozone?

The formula for ozone is O3. It is an allotrope of oxygen, most commonly formed form atmospheric oxygen (O2) on Earth, as in the "ozone layer". The simple representation for the reaction of oxygen to form ozone by ionizing radiation (UV-C or more energetic light) is: O2 + (hv) -> 2O; O + O2 -> O3 The decay of ozone by absorbing ionizing radiation (UV-B or more energetic light) is: O3 + (hv) -> O + O2 The formula of ozone isn't O2, that is the formula for the normal Oxygen which we breathe. Even though this seems strange and almost seems impossible, it is actually true. O3
