Question

Formation of ozone is
(a) oxidation reaction
(b) reduction reaction
(c) photochemical reaction
(d) none of these

Answer 1

the correct answer is a

Answer 2

Formation of ozone is (c) photochemical reaction.

Definition of photochemical reaction;

Photochemcial reaction- is the absorption of energy in the form of light.

Features of Photochemcial reaction;

• Photochemical reaction absorbs the light where the chemical and physical properties is different from the original molecules.
• The formation of ozone is made through the individual oxygen atoms.
• The reaction of oxygen atoms with the molecules oxygen forms the ozone.
• The light absorption form changes electronic arrangement of chemical compounds such as ozone.
• These lights contains protons and electrons that varies according to the physical and chemical properties.

Therefore, Photochemical reaction sums up the light while making the electronic configuration.
