Why does `O_(3)` act as a powerful oxidizing agent?

Answer» `O_(3)` is an endothermic compound. On heating, it readily decomposes to give dioygen and nascent oxygen.
`O_(3) overset("Heat") to O_(2) + O` (nascent oxygen)
Since nascent oxygen is very reactive, therefore, `O_(3)` acts as a powerful oxidizing agent.
