Ozone, with the CAS number 10028-15-6, is a triatomic molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms (O₃). It is a pale blue gas at room temperature and has a distinct, sharp odor, often associated with the smell after a thunderstorm. Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent, making it effective in various applications, including water purification and air quality improvement. It is less stable than diatomic oxygen (O₂) and can decompose into O₂ and atomic oxygen, especially in the presence of heat or light. Ozone occurs naturally in the Earth's stratosphere, forming the ozone layer, which protects living organisms from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. However, at ground level, ozone is a significant component of smog and can be harmful to human health and the environment. Its reactivity allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including those involving organic compounds, making it both beneficial and hazardous depending on its concentration and context.
