Ozone is pale blue gas with a pungent smell that can be good or bad for our health depending on where it is in the atmosphere. What is the chemical formula for ozone?

Oxygen has several allotropes (or molecular forms), but the three most common in our environment are dioxygen, ozone, and atomic oxygen. Ozone in the Earth's atmosphere absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth from the Sun and breaks down in the lower atmosphere to the more stable form, dioxygen.
