Why does O3 act as a powerful oxidising agent?

Advertisements

उत्तर

Ozone is not a very stable compound under normal conditions and decomposes readily on heating to give a molecule of oxygen and nascent oxygen. Nascent oxygen, being a free radical, is very reactive.

    O3 O2    +   [O]

Ozone          oxygen    Nascent oxygen

Therefore, ozone acts as a powerful oxidising agent.
