Physics

Answer:

Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is in the form of O2, which means it is made up of molecules containing two oxygen atoms. Ozone, however is O3, which means it is made up of molecules containing three oxygen atoms. O2 is what we breath, and what plants release from photosynthesis. Ozone occurs naturally high in the stratosphere, where it absorbs ultraviolet light, protecting us here on the surface from skin cancer. Ozone can also occur closer to the surface of the earth as a pollutant. It is formed from reactions with O2 and chemicals emitted from factories and cars. It comes in the form of smog.

So in general:

Oxygen (O2): Essential to human life

Ozone (O3) in the stratosphere: essential to protecting life on earth

Ozone (O3) on the surface of the earth: toxic to human life, caused by pollution

Crank

Answer:

low, low

Explanation:

Longer wavelengths will have lower frequencies, and shorter wavelengths will have higher frequencies.

Large amplitude waves contain more energy. The other is frequency, which is the number of waves that pass by each second. If more waves( or more wiggly lines)  pass by, more energy is transferred each second

how is the position of electrons involved in metallic bonding different from the position of electrons that form ionic and coval
Yuri [45]
While ionic bonds join metals to nonmetals, and covalent bonds join nonmetals to nonmetals, metallic bonds are responsible for the bondingbetween metal atoms. In metallic bonds, the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalize.
