Question

The difference between oxygen and ozone

Answer 1

Differences between oxygen and ozone

• oxygen exists as a diatomic molecule whereas ozone exists as triatomic molecules.
• oxygen mass is 32 amu on the other hand ozone has 48 amu
• Oxygen has no odor but  ozone has a very sharp odor.
• when oxygen atoms  react with oxygen  molecules then ozone forms
• . The average length of an O=O double bond is 121 pm on the other hand  ozone exists in resonance
• ozone is a  polar molecule and have stronger intermolecular forces. The contribution of the electron pair from the central oxygen atom leaves a small positive charge on the central O atom. hence ozone molecules become dipole whereas diatomic oxygen is non-polar.
