Overview:
Ozone (O₃) consists of three oxygen atoms. It is an unstable gas with a strong and irritating odor, which reflects its nature as a potent oxidizer and corrosive agent. Due to these properties, ozone is unsuitable for sustaining life. Ozone is generally produced through high-power electrical discharge in air or oxygen. Naturally, in the upper layers of the atmosphere, ozone forms through photochemical reactions and acts as a protective shield against the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
