Ozone /ˈoʊzoʊn/, or trioxygen, is an inorganic molecule with the chemical formula O
3. It is a pale blue gas with a distinctively pungentsmell. It is an allotrope of oxygen that is much less stable than the diatomic allotrope O
2, breaking down in the lower atmosphere to O
2or dioxygen. Ozone is formed from dioxygen by the action of ultraviolet light and also atmospheric electrical discharges, and is present in very low concentrations throughout the Earth's atmosphere (stratosphere). Its concentration is highest in the ozone layerregion of the atmosphere, which absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation
