Question

Subject: Earth Science

Explain the differences in structure and use for life between oxygen gas in the atmosphere and ozone.

(I would like a paragraph)

Answer 1

The only difference is that ozone is made up of three oxygen atoms, while the stuff we breathe (molecular oxygen) is made up of only two atoms. Solar rays high in the atmosphere convert O2 to O3. In the upper atmosphere, rays from the Sun break a normal oxygen molecule into two separate oxygen atoms.
