What is the chemical formula of ozone gas?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: O₃
Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen whose molecule contains three oxygen atoms bonded together. Therefore its chemical formula is O₃. Ordinary oxygen in the atmosphere is mainly diatomic and is written as O₂, carbon dioxide is CO₂, and nitrogen is N₂. The subscript 3 in O₃ shows the number of oxygen atoms in one ozone molecule, so option D is correct.
