How many atoms make up one molecule of ozone?
Cyclic ozone Cyclic ozone Cyclic ozone is a theoretically predicted form of ozone. Like ordinary ozone (O), it would have three oxygen atoms. It would differ from ordinary ozone in how those three oxygen atoms are arranged. In ordinary ozone, the atoms are arranged in a bent line; in cyclic ozone, they would form an equilateral triangle. Some of properties of cyclic ozone have been predicted theoretically. It should have more energy than ordinary ozone. There is evidence that tiny quantities of cyclic ozone exist at the surface of magnesium oxide crystals in air. Cyclic ozone has not been made in bulk,
Ozone molecular oxygen followed by reaction of the oxygen atom with another molecule of oxygen to form ozone. where "M" denotes the third body that carries off the excess energy of the reaction. The ozone molecule can then absorb a UV-C photon and dissociate The excess kinetic energy heats the stratosphere when the O atoms and the molecular oxygen fly apart and collide with other molecules. This conversion of UV light into kinetic energy warms the stratosphere. The oxygen atoms produced in the photolysis of ozone then react back with other oxygen molecule as in the previous step to form more
