Ozone acts as powerful oxidising because it can easily be decomposed to give an atom of nascent oxygen which is much more reactive than oxygen.

Hey !!
Due to the ease with which it liberates atoms of nascent oxygen, it acts as a powerful oxidising agent.
O₃ -------> O₂ + O (nascent oxygen)
Good luck !!
