Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is ozone?
A
3 nitrogen atoms
B
3 oxygen atoms
C
2 oxygen atoms
D
1 oxygen atom
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive gas composed of three oxygen atoms. It is both a natural and a man-made product that occurs in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. (the stratosphere) and lower atmosphere (the troposphere). Depending on where it is in the atmosphere, ozone affects life on Earth in either good or bad ways.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each ozone molecule contains three atoms of oxygen and is denoted chemically as O3.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ozone is a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms, often referenced as O3. Ozone is formed when heat and sunlight cause chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOX ) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), which are also known as Hydrocarbons.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ozone is an odorless, colorless gas made up of three oxygen molecules (O3) and is a natural part of the environment. It occurs both in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, or stratosphere, and at ground level in the lower atmosphere, or troposphere.
