Ozone molecules are constantly formed and destroyed in the atmosphere. A
picture (cartoon) showing how ozone molecules are formed is shown below.
A family member of yours who has never studied about this tries to understand
the cartoon pictures but is unable to understand it. He knows that there are no
such living forms in atmosphere but he is not able to understand names like O, O2
and O3 and also the process explained.
How would you explain it to that family member? State in your own words.

Answer:
The triatomic ozone molecule becomes diatomic molecular oxygen plus a free oxygen atom (see figure): O3 + ℎν(240–310 nm) → O2 + O. The atomic oxygen produced quickly reacts with another oxygen molecule to reform ozone: O + O2 → O3 + E.
