what are chemical formula of ozon . write it attensitives function and case of decleration
Answers
An ozone molecule consists of three oxygen atoms (O3), whereas the stable form of oxygen that normally exists in the atmosphere consists of only two. When certain chemical processes make an extra oxygen atom available, the highly reactive atom binds readily with an oxygen molecule. Ozone is also highly reactive, and its oxidizing ability is second only to fluorine. It is useful as a deodorizing and bleaching agent as well as for killing germs and purifying water. It is a pale blue gas at room temperature, and its strong odor is reminiscent of a thunderstorm because lightning strikes produce ozone.
Production of Stratospheric Ozone
Ultraviolet light from the sun reacts with oxygen molecules in the upper atmosphere to form the stratospheric ozone layer. When the energetic light strikes oxygen molecules, it breaks them into two separate oxygen atoms, and each of the highly reactive atoms bind with another oxygen molecule, resulting in the formation of two ozone molecules. These reactions occur most frequently over the tropics, where the sunlight is most intense. They are important because the ultraviolet radiation they absorb would otherwise reach the surface of the planet, where it would make it difficult for life to exist.
