What is the formula of an ozone molecule?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a O₂
  2. b O₃
  3. c O₄
  4. d O₈
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: b O₃

Three oxygen atoms, so O₃.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a O₂: O₂ is the ordinary oxygen molecule; ozone has three atoms, O₃.
  • c O₄: No four-oxygen molecule is in the book; ozone is O₃.
  • d O₈: The eight-atom molecule is sulfur's (S₈); ozone is O₃.
