MCQ
The formula of ozone is ${O_3},$ it is
  • An allotrope of oxygen
  • B
    Compound of oxygen
  • C
    Isotope of oxygen
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
An allotrope of oxygen
a
Allotropes are different structural modifications of an element; the atoms of the element are bonded together in a different manner.

For some elements, allotropes have different molecular formulae which can persist in different phases. For example, two allotropes of oxygen (dioxygen, $O _2$, and ozone, $O _3$ ), can both exist in the solid, liquid and gaseous states.
