Chemical Model Animation of O2 being Broken Up and Reforming as O3
Visualizations by
James W. Williams
Released on April 9, 1999
Ozone is formed when high energy ultra-violet radiation from the sun breaks apart molecular oxygen. An oxygen atom then combines with an oxygen molecule producing a new molecule with three atoms of oxygen, ozone.
