How should the relationship between oxygen and ozone in the atmosphere be understood?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ozone is a special form of oxygen and provides protection in the upper atmosphere
Oxygen normally occurs as O₂, while ozone is O₃, a different molecular form made only of oxygen atoms. The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs much of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation and helps protect living organisms. Thus option A is correct. Ozone is not nitrogen, oxygen is not restricted to oceans, and the two substances are chemically related.
