Which of the following represents the chemical formula for ozone?
β’ Ozone is a molecule made only of oxygen atoms. β’ Compare how many oxygen atoms are in elemental oxygen gas versus ozone. β’ Chemical formulas use subscripts (small numbers) to show how many atoms are bonded together.
β’ How many oxygen atoms are bonded together in one molecule of normal oxygen gas that we breathe? β’ How does ozone differ from normal oxygen gas in terms of the number of oxygen atoms? β’ Which option uses a subscript to show more than one oxygen atom in a single molecule?
β’ Make sure the choice you pick shows more than one oxygen atom in the molecule. β’ Confirm that the formula you pick contains only the element oxygen (O) and no other letters. β’ Check that the formula correctly uses a subscript number (like β or β) to indicate how many O atoms are in each molecule.
