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.
What is the process in which electricity converts oxygen into ozone?
When electricity passes through oxygen gas (O2) in a process called electric discharge, some of the oxygen molecules dissociate into oxygen atoms (O). These oxygen atoms then combine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone (O3). This reaction occurs in the stratosphere, producing the ozone layer that shields the Earth from harmful UV radiation.
What will happen when ultra-violet rays convert normal oxygen into ozone?
When UV convert oxygen into ozone. The ozone again converts back. Thus forming a cycle.
How thunder helps our ozone layer?
Yes thunder makes ozone. It is because when thunder passes through oxygen due to electrical discharge the oxygen molecules disintegrate and thus form nascent ozygen which on reaction with oxygen molecule form ozone. This process is used in the formation of artificial ozone in an ozoniser. The pleasant smell during lightning is of the formation of ozone.
What is lightning good for?
It naturally creates ozone (O3) from the oxygen (O2) in the air.
When lightning converts oxygen gas O2 into ozone it is a physical change?
No, the conversion of oxygen gas (O2) into ozone (O3) by lightning is a chemical change because new molecules with different properties are formed. Physical changes do not involve the formation of new substances.

What is the process called when electricity can convert oxygen into ozone?
Thunder converts oxygen to ozone. It is a natural process.
What is an ozone converter?
An ozone converter contains a catalyst that converts Ozone (O3) into Oxygen (O2).
What is formed by the interaction of lightning with oxygen?
Ozone is formed when lightning interacts with oxygen molecules in the atmosphere. Lightning breaks apart the oxygen molecules, allowing them to recombine into ozone, which is a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms.
How does the lightning and thunder affect the ozone layer?
Lightning and thunder react with oxygen to form ozone. Thus they help in replenishing the ozone layer.
What instances where by the normal ozone is destroyed?
Ozone is destroyed by the CFC gases. CFC converts ozone to oxygen.
What is an converter?
An ozone converter contains a catalyst that converts Ozone (O3) into Oxygen (O2).
Can oxygen form ozone when it interacts with lightning.?
Yes.

What is formed by the interaction of lighting with oxygen?
Lightning interacting with oxygen in the atmosphere can create ozone (O3) as a byproduct. Ozone formation occurs due to photochemical reactions initiated by lightning, leading to oxygen molecules (O2) splitting into individual oxygen atoms that can combine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone.
Why all ozone does not change into oxygen?
All ozone does not change back into oxygen. It is because that ozone is continuously interacting with UV radiations.
