Ozone information

Oxygen exists biologically as O₂.  Ozone occurs naturally in small amounts in the Earth's stratosphere (known as the "Ozone layer"), where it absorbs solar ultraviolet radiation, which otherwise could cause severe damage to living organisms on the Earth's surface.  It can also be found in the air that we breath. Ozone is formed when an electric spark is passed through oxygen.  For example ozone is formed electrically during a lighting storm, when oxygen molecules are broken apart and recombined as O₃.  The electrical discharge creates that positive, sweet smell that we understand as clean fresh air after the thunderstorm passes. 

Ozone’s outer beauty

Ozone is a pale blue gas compound made up of 3 oxygen atoms.  Meaning Ozone is a tri-atomic allotrope of oxygen. The ozone molecule is angular, polar, and diamagnetic.  Ozone is said to be toxic and very explosive.

Ozone’s inner beauty

The bonds between both oxygen’s have a length of 1.28 angstroms and are identical.  Ozone is known to have a density of 2.5 times that of O₂. 

Ozone has emotions too…

After long sessions and many pills, Doctors have concluded that Ozone is unstable, any very irritating.  Ozone is much more reactive than oxygen.  It is an extremely powerful oxidizing agent, particularly useful in converting olefins into aldehydes, ketones, or carboxylic acids.
