Question

Ozone is an example of(a) Monoatomic molecules (b) Triatomic molecule (c) diatomic molecule​

Answer 1

Answer:

Question→

Ozone is and example of ______________

Options Given→

$\mapsto$ (a) Monoatomic molecule

$\mapsto$ (b) Triatomic molecule

$\mapsto$ (c) Diatomic molecule

Answer

As Ozone molecule is formed of 3 Oxygen atoms ( $\rm{Ozone=O_3}$ ). So as it contains 3 atoms, we can conclude that it is a Triatomic molecule. Hence option (b) Triatomic molecule is the correct answer.

Ozone formation:-

Ozone at higher levels of the atmosphere is a product of UV radiations acting on Oxygen ( ${O_2}$ ) molecule. The higher energy UV radiations split some molecular Oxygen ( ${O_2}$ ) into free Oxygen(O) atom. These atoms being highly reactive combine with the molecular Oxygen to form Ozone.

$\large\mapsto\rm{O_2\underset{\tiny{(From\:sun)}}{\xrightarrow{\scriptsize{UV\:radiations}}}[O]+[O]}$

$\large\mapsto\rm{O_2+[O]\xrightarrow{~}O_3}$
