«By stabilizing
the energy of oxygen atoms and electrons, the catalyst lowers the energy cost of selective oxidation reactions just like a bank facilitates the sale of a car from one person to another.

This material, in which carbon substitutes for some
of the lattice
oxygen atoms, absorbs light at wavelengths below 535 nanometers and has a lower band - gap
energy than rutile (2.32 versus 3.00 electron volts).
Scientists at the Department
of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new
oxygen «sponge» that can easily absorb or shed
oxygen atoms at low temperatures.
This material, called stripe - type - lambda - trititanium - pentoxide, is composed
of only titanium
atoms and
oxygen atoms, and can absorb and release a large amount
of heat
energy (230 kJ L - 1).
The link between
energy and water is not always apparent, but the two are as intertwined as the hydrogen and
oxygen atoms in a bottle
of Evian.
A decrease in temperature means that the hydrogen and
oxygen atoms of the water no longer have enough
energy to bounce out
of the six - sided pattern they naturally nestle into.
Photons
of sufficient
energy are absorbed by
oxygen molecules and as a result the
atoms of the
oxygen are «blown» apart.
However, my main point was not so much about the «make up»
of ozone but more about the possibility that as long as
oxygen atoms and molecules absorb enough
energy from UV radiation to alter their structure it may be that they also produce an increase in their heat content, which should be greater at any points nearest to the source — i.e..
