Oxygen is present at ground level. It doesn't completely change into ozone.

How would the concentration of ozone molecules change if the concentration of oxygen molecules decreased?

If the concentration of oxygen molecules decreases, the concentration of ozone molecules would also decrease since ozone is formed from oxygen molecules in the presence of ultraviolet light. With less oxygen available, there would be fewer molecules available to form ozone.


What is the difference between between the chemical structure of the oxygen that you breathe and ozone?

Oxygen is O2 and ozone is only O. This change happens naturally from Oxygen to Ozoneand the other way around. the reason carbon dioxide is destroying the ozone layer is because it speeds up the chemical change from Ozone to 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.


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.


Is forming ozone from oxygen a chemical change?

Putting oxygen in tanks (under pressure) is a physical change, not a chemical change. The chemical nature of the oxygen has not been altered, and it is possible to recover the original substance, thus it is not a chemical change.

How are the properties of ozone and oxygen different?

Oxygen and ozone are completely different in properties. Ozone is a pollutant on breathing, while oxygen is not.


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.


If 4.8g of oxygen gas is completely converted to ozone how many molecules of ozone would be produced?

4.8/16 moles of oxygen atoms converts to 1.6/16 moles of ozone molecules.

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 weather contributes to the formation of bad ozone?

Weather contributes to the formation of bad ozone. Thunder causes oxygen molecule to change into ozone.

In the ozone layer ozone is created when oxygen .?

Ozone is created by the oxygen molecules. When the UV falls on oxygen, ozone is formed.


Is ozone a nascent oxygen?

No, ozone is not nascent oxygen. Ozone is triatomic form of oxygen atom.
