Facts about ozone
Ozone is also known as tri oxygen, since it has 3 oxygen atoms. Its molecular formula is O3. it is an allotrope of oxygen, that is much less stable than the di atomic oxygen (O2).
ozone is formed from the di atomic oxygen by the action of ultra violet rays on oxygen atoms and also atmospheric electrical discharges, and is present in lower concentration throughout the atmosphere. In total, ozone makes up only 0.6 parts per million of atmosphere.
In standard condition, ozone is a pale blue gas which condenses to a dark blue liquid and finally viloent black solid. Ozone's instability compared to di atomic oxygen is such that it may decompose explosively. Hence, it is used only in lower concentration in industries.
