The oxygen atoms thus formed relax from the excited singlet configuration ('O) to the
ground state triplet configuration (°O) by colliding with another molecule (such as N2)
and transferring energy, analogous to a billiard ball collision. Once formed, ozone (03)
is produced by collision of 30 with another O2 molecule:

Recall that O3 is a 1,3 dipole with the following resonance representation:
Ozone thus formed is normally destroyed by a combined thermal and photochemical
route:

If the average bond strength of one of the
bonds in O3 is 445 kJ/mol, what
wavelength (A) and range of radiation is this (see table and formulae for question 1)?
