Interpretation:
The ozone differ from oxygen in its chemical formula and in properties, the reason has to be discussed.
Explanation of Solution
The chemical formula of Oxygen and Ozone are
Physical property: Oxygen odorless whereas Ozone has very strong odor.
Chemical property: both are reactive; Ozone is more reactive than Oxygen.
Oxygen is a vital for the survival of living species; ozone is a harmful air pollutant in the troposphere. Ozone in the stratosphere plays vital role in blocking the harmful Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.
