Where the ozone layer?

Answer 1

Agreed with Wiki User 10 y ago.

However, Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen.

Atmospheric oxygen is a diatomic molecule (O2) ; structurally, each oxygen atoms is doubly bonded to its partner atom; ' O=O '.

However, ozone is a molecule of three(3) oxygen atoms. The three oxygen atoms are structurally arranged in a triangular formation. Any one of the oxygen atoms makes two single covalent bonds to each of the other two oxygen atoms, which makes for a triangular structure.

NB An Allotrope os an elements atoms arranged in a different structure, thereby giving it differen**t physical** characteristics.

Do NOT confuse with ISOTOPE.

Answer 2

The ozone layer is a region with a relatively high concentration of ozone, and is located near the bottom of the stratosphere. It is located 8 to 50km above sea level. The altitude varies with latitude, placing the stratosphere and the ozone layer closer to the Earth's surface over the poles.

The highest concentration is in the lower stratosphere, also called the tropopause. Ozone is found in some concentration in all layers of the atmosphere. Ozone in the troposphere (near Earth's surface) is one component of smog.

Ozone concentrations vary from near zero at extreme elevations (high in the exosphere), to a maximum (~9 ppm) at the bottom of the stratosphere, to zero again near Earth's surface. Some ozone is found in every layer of the atmosphere (usually less than 1 ppm, except for the stratosphere).

The ozone layer is in the upper atmosphere of the earth.

Answer 3

This is the stratosphere. There is also ozone in the lower troposphere, but the ozone layer in the stratosphere contains helpful ozone that blocks much of the ultraviolet radiation. Without this layer, life on earth would be very difficult.

Answer 4

Ozone layer is found in the stratosphere. It is a pool of ozone molecules.

Ozone layer is found in stratosphere. It is a layer of ozone gas (O3) which covers the entire earth. About 90% of the ozone in our atmosphere is contained in the stratosphere and it protects earth from harmful rays from sun.

Answer 5

Ozone layer is found in stratosphere. It is a layer of ozone gas (O3) which covers the entire earth. About 90% of the ozone in our atmosphere is contained in the stratosphere and it protects earth from harmful rays from sun.

Answer 6

Ozone layer can be found out the stratospheric regionof the atmosphere. It is present as a pool of ozone molecules.

Answer 7

The ozone layer is found in the stratospheric region of the atmosphere. This ozone layer protects us from the ahrmful UV radiations of the sun.

Answer 8

The ozone layer is present in the stratospheric region of the atmosphere. This ozone layer blocks out the harmful radiations from the sun. It acts as a shield covering the earth.

Answer 9

Ozone layer is found in the stratosphere. It is a pool of ozone molecules.

Answer 10

The ozone layer is located near the bottom of the stratosphere.
