12 I've always thought that the two-form resonance structure of ozone was the scientific concensus (from Wikipedia]: Then today I found two other opinions. A three-form structure: …

Sep 1, 2015 · Ozone is less stable than oxygen. When UV radiation reaches ozone layer, the ozone molecules decompose to form oxygen molecules which are more stable. So even …

Nov 6, 2021 · This answer shows why ozone should be diamagnetic. Still, Wikipedia article says it is weakly paramagnetic, having positive magnetic susceptibility $χ = \\pu{+6.7E−6 cm^3 mol^ …

Oct 3, 2020 · But Ozone only has bonds between two Oxygens, so why is the dipole moment of each bond not equal to zero? Chemical education is in such a sorry state. Why do they teach …

Sep 5, 2021 · Does $\\ce{O3}$ have polar or non-polar bonds? My teacher says that $\\ce{O3}$ has non-polar bonds. But chem-libre texts and many other sources state that a non-polar bond …

Jan 8, 2021 · I don't understand the chemistry here: fluorine is a halogen too. I read that fluorine in the atmosphere readily forms HF, which is (somewhat) stable and doesn't catalytically break …

Nov 8, 2023 · I have read about the formation of natural atmospheric ozone on Wikipedia, where it is claiming that the ozone creation step requires an extra molecule in order to conserve …

Apr 30, 2025 · Ozone is formed by UV radiation or electrical discharge, which break molecular oxygen into oxygen atoms. Oxygen atoms can bind freely with oxygen molecules to form …

0 Plasma globes do indeed produce small quantities of ozone when they are touched. This is because the high-voltage within the globe is at very high frequency and this can drive high …

Jan 9, 2016 · Neither is "proof enough", see discussions about "alternative facts". While the photochemistry of ozone is interesting, it's not relevant in a question about mass ("being heavy …
