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. |
