7. What are the two forms of Oxygen found in atmosphere?
Answers
Answer:
Oxygen is called diatomic oxygen and ozone is known as triatomic oxygen.
Explanation:
The two forms of oxygen found in the atmosphere are a diatomic molecular form that has chemical formula as O
2
or oxygen, the life-giving gas that we breathe in to survive.
Another is a triatomic molecular form that has chemical formula as O
3
called ozone gas, it protects us from harmful UV rays.
In water, oxygen is found as a compound with hydrogen molecules. The oxygen in water is dissolved oxygen used by aquatic animals and plants.
carbon dioxide has 2 molecules of oxygen with one molecule of carbon. It is formed by the reaction between carbon molecules and oxygen molecules during fermentation or respiration.
In the case of water and carbon dioxide, the oxygen does not exist independently but in association with other molecules. Whereas in the case of ozone and oxygen, the oxygen exists independently. Hence, the two forms of oxygen are ozone and oxygen.
your answer is (Ozone and Oxygen).
