  2. Ozone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone

    Ozone (/ ˈ oʊ z oʊ n /) (or trioxygen) is an inorganic molecule with the chemical formula O 3.It is a pale blue gas with a distinctively pungent smell. It is an allotrope of oxygen that is much less stable than the diatomic allotrope O

  3. Ground-level ozone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-level_ozone

    Ground-level ozone (O 3), also known as surface-level ozone and tropospheric ozone, is a trace gas in the troposphere (the lowest level of the Earth's atmosphere), with an average concentration of 20–30 parts per billion by volume (ppbv), with close to 100 ppbv in polluted areas.

  4. Allotropes of oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_oxygen

    Triatomic oxygen (ozone, O 3) is a very reactive allotrope of oxygen that is a pale blue gas at standard temperature and pressure. Liquid and solid O 3 have a deeper blue color than ordinary O 2, and they are unstable and explosive. [5] [6] In its gas phase, ozone is destructive to materials like rubber and fabric and is damaging to lung tissue ...

    Ozone for dental application In dentistry as and antimicrobial agent and therapies including implantology, oral surgery, periodontology, oral medicine and the treament of caries. Ozone is used mainly in private dental practices and is open to poor implementation as the mechanism of action is not well enough understood to routinely use. [37]

  6. Triatomic molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triatomic_molecule

    Ozone, O 3 is an example of a triatomic molecule with all atoms the same. Triatomic hydrogen, H 3, is unstable and breaks up spontaneously. H 3 +, the trihydrogen cation is stable by itself and is symmetric. 4 He 3, the helium trimer is only weakly bound by van der Waals force and is in an Efimov state. [1] Trisulfur (S 3) is analogous to ozone.

  7. The whole in Earth's ozone over Antarctica decreased in size

    The hole in Earth's ozone over Antarctica is the smallest we've seen since 1988 — but don't get too excited.

  8. Ozone layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_layer

    The ozone layer visible from space at Earth's horizon as a blue band of afterglow within the bottom of the large bright blue band that is the stratosphere, with a silhouette of a cumulonimbus in the orange afterglow of the troposphere. The ozone layer or ozone shield is a region of Earth's stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet ...

  9. Ozone–oxygen cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone–oxygen_cycle

    Thus, ozone is mainly removed by ozone conversion. Both ozone creation and conversion depend linearly on oxygen atom concentration, but in ozone creation an oxygen atom must encounter an oxygen molecule and another air molecule (typically nitrogen) simultaneously, while in ozone conversion an oxygen atom must only encounter an ozone molecule.
