Answer 1

molecules with a different structure than in oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

At STP O2 and O3 have different properties because O3 has different molecular structure (formula) than O2.


O3 is a triatomic molecule, i.e it has three atoms.


O2 is a diatomic molecule, i.e. it has two atoms.


So, they two have different physical and chemical properties.


For example, O2 is odorless while O3 has a strong characteristic odour.


From the chemical point of view, O3 is very unstable and more reactive than O2.
