Question

what is ozone how does it differ from oxygen

Answer 1

Answer:

Ozone is made up of ordinary oxygen, just like what we breathe. The only difference is that ozone is made up of three oxygen atoms, while the stuff we breathe (molecular oxygen) is made up of only two atoms. Solar rays high in the atmosphere convert O2 to O3. In the upper atmosphere, rays from the Sun break a normal oxygen molecule into two separate oxygen atoms. Another oxygen molecule then picks up one of these atoms to form an ozone molecule.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ozone is an alternative version of oxygen .oxygen or(O2) in the air we breathe is actually two molecules of oxygen attached together .Ozone is 3 atom of Oxygen attached together forming a molecular that is O3 .
