O"zone (?), n. [Gr. 'o`zwn
smelling, p. pr. of 'o`zein to smell. See Odor.]
(Chem.) A colorless gaseous substance (O&?;) obtained (as
by the silent discharge of electricity in oxygen) as an allotropic
form of oxygen, containing three atoms in the molecule. It is a
streng oxidizer, and probably exists in the air, though by he
ordinary tests it is liable to be confused with certain other
substances, as hydrogen dioxide, or certain oxides of nitrogen. It
derives its name from its peculiar odor, which resembles that of weak
chlorine.
- Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
- (chemistry) An allotrope of oxygen (symbol O3) having three atoms in the molecule instead of the usual two; it is a blue gas, generated from oxygen by electrical discharge; it is poisonous and highly reactive, but in the upper atmosphere it protects life on Earth from ultraviolet radiation.
