Share:
- 1Oxygen and ozone are both completely colorless gases and hence do not absorb any solar radiation.
- 2An ozone molecule is primarily split by infrared radiation, which then generates diatomic oxygen molecules.
- 3Oxygen and ozone can both equally absorb high-energy UV-C radiation to protect us from skin cancer.
- 4An oxygen molecule is split by solar UV radiation into free oxygen atoms, which then react with other oxygen molecules to generate ozone.✓
Correct answer
An oxygen molecule is split by solar UV radiation into free oxygen atoms, which then react with other oxygen molecules to generate ozone.
