Question

How ozone is formed? Answer the given question in brief.

Answer 1

Ozone is a gas that is naturally present in the upper levels of our atmosphere. Ozone has the chemical formula O3 because one molecule of ozone contains three atoms of oxygen . Ozone is formed naturally by chemical reactions involving ultraviolet radiation of the sun (sunlight) and oxygen molecules . Solar ultraviolet radiation breaks apart one oxygen molecule (O2) to produce two oxygen atoms (2 O) . Each of these highly reactive atoms of nascent oxygen combines with an oxygen molecule to produce an ozone molecule (O3) .
