The structure of ozone, according to experimental evidence from microwave spectroscopy, is bent, with C2v symmetry (similar to the water molecule), O - O distance of 127.2 pm and O - O - O angle of 116.78°. The central atom forms an sp² hybridization with one lone pair. Ozone is a polar molecule with a dipole moment of 0.5337 D. The bonding is single bond on one side and double bond on the other side, and these bonds are blended to become known as resonance structures. The bond order is 1.5 for each side.

What human made chemical damages the ozone layer?

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other halogenated ozone depleting substances (ODS) are mainly responsible for man-made chemical ozone depletion.

What is ozone depiction?

I think the question says ozone depletion. Ozone depletion is the destruction of ozone molecules. These molecules are made of oxygen. O3 is the chemical formula.


What halogen is in ozone?

Ozone is NOT a halogen. Ozone is an ALLOTROPE of oxygen. NOT an isotope. The element oxygen has the symbol ' O ' . Atmospheric oxygen, the gas that we breath to stay alive, is the molecule ' O2 ' , that is two atoms of oxygen doubly bonded together . Structurally ; - ' O = O ' Ozone is a molecule of oxygen, with the formula ' O3 '. Any one oxygen atom has two single bonds, one each top the other two oxygen atoms, forming a triangular arrangement. It is naturally found in the upper atmosphere as a protection from the worst effects of solar radiation, such as Cosmic Rays. NB Allotropes are atoms of the same element in different structural arrangements, and thereby exhibiting different physical characteristics.


Ozone ir formed when?

Ozone is formed when the levels of stratospheric decreases day by day. This is taught in science.


What are the chemical components of ozone layer?

Well....ozone is a chemical itself. It is O3 but as far as the chemical composition of "air," that is several compounds. Air is N2 O2 CO2 mostly....with a few others that are a very small percentage.
