Is the ozone in the atmosphere a form of carbon?

No its not. Ozone is a form of oxygen.


Is it useful or harmful when ozone in the upper atmosphere absorbs ultraviolet rays and changes into normal oxygen?

The oxygen formed in upper atmosphere is not for breathing. It forms again into ozone by natural phenomenons.


Detail about parts of ozone?

Ozone is an isotope of oxygen. It is present as the ozone layer in the atmosphere.


What is the difference between the oxygen you breathe and the ozone located in the earths stratosphere?

Oxygen in the atmosphere is O2, two atoms of oxygen. Ozone, no matter where it is in the atmosphere or in a process, is O3, three atoms of oxygen.


What system includes oxygen nitrogen and ozone?

The Earth's atmosphere includes oxygen, nitrogen, and ozone. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere, oxygen makes up about 21%, and ozone is present in the stratosphere as a protective layer against ultraviolet radiation.


Why is ozone top of the atmosphere?

Ozone is formed at the top because UV radaitions have converted oxygen into ozone over there. Ozone formation is a chemical process. When oxygen is treated with UV radiations oxygen gets converted into ozone.


How is oxygen in the ozone layer different from other layers in atmosphere?

Ozone is triatomic oxygen. (It has three oxygen atoms). 'Normal' oxygen is diatomic. (It has two oxygen atoms)


Does mars have an ozone layer in its atmosphere?

No mars doesn't have an ozone layer. It is because it doesn't have oxygen which can form ozone.


What is on ganymedes surface?

Ice, with a thin oxygen-ozone atmosphere.


How can introduction of ozone in the atmosphere be explained?

Ozone is formed in the atmosphere through reactions involving oxygen molecules and ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The process begins with the dissociation of oxygen molecules (O2) to form oxygen atoms, which then combine with other oxygen molecules to create ozone (O3). This natural ozone layer plays a crucial role in absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation and protecting life on Earth from its damaging effects.


What developed because of the development of the ozone in the stratosphere and oxygen in the atmosphere?

An ozone hole developed due to the ozone depletion. It is the lowering of ozone concentration.


What do chemicals released into the atmosphere break ozone down into to?

Chemicals released into the atmosphere, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), break ozone down into oxygen molecules and chlorine atoms through a series of chemical reactions. The chlorine atoms then react with ozone molecules, leading to the depletion of the ozone layer.
