Interpretation:
Ozone absorbs UV radiation of wavelengths less than 320 nm, while oxygen requires higher – energy
Concept Introduction:
Electromagnetic spectrum is a range of all types of electromagnetic radiation.
Radiant energy emitted by all matter whose temperature is greater than absolute zero
(
Radiant energy with short wavelength (higher frequency) will have the most energy and as the wavelength get longer, the energy decreases.
Bond energy or more correctly the bond dissociation enthalpy is the enthalpy change when breaking a bond in a molecule with the reactant and products in the gas phase.
Resonance structures: when a single Lewis structure does not adequately represent a substance, the true structure is intermediate between two or more structures which are called resonance structures and these structures are created by moving electrons, not atoms.

Chemistry In Context
- Oxygen forms double bonds in O2, but sulfur forms single bonds in S8. Why?arrow_forwardThe Martial regolith is about 45.5% SiO2. Draw the VSEPR structure of SiO2. Also give the name of the shape, the bond angle, and whether it is polar or non-polar.arrow_forwardDraw the structural formula for nitrogen, N2, and state the type of bond in a nitrogen molecule. A. None of the above B. 1 double bond C. 1 triple bond D. 3 single bonds E. 1 single bondarrow_forward
- A Lewis structure obeying the octet rule can be drawn for O2 as follows: Use the molecular orbital energy-level diagram for O2 to show that the above Lewis structure corresponds to an excited state.arrow_forwardWhen potassium and oxygen react, one of the products obtained is potassium superoxide, KO2. The anion in this compound is the superoxide ion. O2. Write the electron configuration for this ion in molecular orbital terms, and then compare it with the electron configuration of the O2 molecule with respect to the following criteria: (a) magnetic character (b) net number of and bonds (c) bond order (d) oxygenoxygen bond length A closed-circuit breathing apparatus that generates its own oxygen. One source of oxygen is potassium superoxide (KO2). Both carbon dioxide and moisture exhaled by the wearer into the breathing tube react with the KO2 to generate oxygen.arrow_forward
