Which is the correct relation between oxygen and ozone in the atmosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ozone is a gas with three oxygen atoms
Option C is correct because ozone has the molecular formula O3, meaning that each ozone molecule contains three oxygen atoms. Ordinary molecular oxygen has the formula O2 and contains two oxygen atoms. They are therefore different forms of oxygen with different properties and atmospheric roles. Ozone helps absorb ultraviolet radiation, while the other statements incorrectly claim equal amounts, inertness, or a relationship with water vapour.
