The resultant attachment
of single oxygen atoms to O2 produces ozone (O3).

atoms grab a
single oxygen atom.

single nitrogen
atom for an
oxygen.

The presence
of ozone helps to explain the detection
of hydroxyl (an unstable molecule
of oxygen with a
single atom of hydrogen) high in planet's atmosphere in 2008 (ESA news releases on ozone, sulfur dioxide, and hydroxyl; Lisa Grossman, New Scientist, October 6, 2011; and Montmessin et al, 2011).
Ozone production requires something that is not
oxygen, to hold onto a
single oxygen atom for some period
of time, until an
oxygen molecule can come along and become ozone.
So, Chapman proposed that as soon as one
of these
oxygen atoms («free radicals») collided with an ordinary diatomic
oxygen molecule, they would react together to form a
single triatomic ozone molecule (Figure 18).
Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a naturally occurring chemical compound composed
of 2
oxygen atoms each covalently double bonded to a
