You should really do your own homework.

Oxygen is binary, and isn't stable by itself. When an oxygen molecule is forcefully split in the atmosphere, the first thing the two atoms do is to seek out something else to attach to. An easy thing for a single oxygen atom to attach to is another oxygen molecule... so one atom of oxygen (O) combines with one molecule of oxygen(O2, two atoms) to form... O3. Ozone.

by the way, bonus funny for the bot auto-moving this question to the ozone category... in essence answering the question itself

In the ozone layer ozone is created when oxygen does?

In the ozone layer, ozone (O₃) is formed when ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun splits oxygen molecules (O₂) into individual oxygen atoms. These free oxygen atoms can then react with other oxygen molecules to create ozone. This process plays a crucial role in protecting life on Earth by absorbing harmful UV radiation. Thus, ozone is not created at the same time as oxygen, but rather as a result of reactions involving solar energy and existing oxygen.


How ozone is destroyed in the stratosphere?

The ozone doesn't quite destroy its own molecules. Ultra-violet rays from the sun, that penetrate through the ozone break it's molecules apart. One molecule of ozone contains 3 atoms of oxygen. When the molecule splits, it releases heat. Then, one molecule of oxygen (2 atoms) and one atom of oxygen join together again, and become ozone (3 atoms of oxygen).


How is ozone formed in the atmosphere from the ground level up to 50 km?

Ozone in the atmosphere is primarily formed in the stratosphere, around 10-50 km above the Earth's surface, through the interaction of ultraviolet radiation with oxygen molecules (O2). UV light splits O2 into individual oxygen atoms, which can then combine with other O2 molecules to form ozone (O3). At ground level, ozone is created through photochemical reactions involving pollutants from human activities, such as vehicle emissions, and can contribute to smog formation.


When water dissociates each water molecule splits into?

Initially, each water molecule splits into two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. These single atom forms of hydrogen and oxygen are highly reactive and soon pair with one another to form diatomic molecules of both hydrogen and oxygen.


What three parts is the water split into at the beginning of photosynthesis?

Water splits into Protons, electrons, and Oxygen

Nitrogen dioxide reacts with water to produce oxygen and ammonia how many liters of O2 are produced when 2.5 x 1023 molecules NO2 reacts?

When nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is exposed to the ultraviolet radiation in sunlight, the NO2 molecule splits into nitric oxide (NO) and a single atom of oxygen (O). This atom of oxygen quickly combines with oxygen (O2) that is normally in the atmosphere to produce ozone (O3).


Is a gas given of when water splits into hydrogen and oxygen?

When water splits, hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are formed.

Which substance present in the atmosphere is responsible for the absorption of solar radiation with a wavelength less than 242 nm?

Oxygen is responsible for the absorption of solar radiation with a wavelength less than 242nm. UV radiation splits oxygen into atoms and the atoms combine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone. Generally, all multi-atom?æ compounds are capable of absorbing UV radiation when the wavelength is short.


What gas is produced when water is splits?

Hydrogen and oxygen


What splits H20 to generate electrons and produce o2?

Nothing splits H2O to generate electrons... electrons are introduced to the electron-hungry oxygen atom so that it stops sharing electrons with the hydrogen... electrons are used in splitting water, rather than produced.-ScrafemoreTech

What splits water and releases oxygen?

The process of photosynthesis in plants splits water molecules, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. This occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, where water molecules are broken down into oxygen, protons, and electrons.


How does oxygen affect the earth and weathering?

By that it splits rocks and makes the oxygen go through it. When the temperature changes, the oxygen spreads into the rock and it cracks open.
