The average length of an O–O single bond is 132 pm. The average length of an O–O double bond is 121 pm. What do you predict the O–O bond lengths will be in ozone? Will they all be the same? Explain your predictions.

Chapter #3, Question #13: Consider the following data for total atmospheric column ozone measurements (as DU) at three locations around the Earth, obtained using the TOMS in 2001. January 15 april 15 july 15 october 15 Tierra del fuego (Chilie, argentina) 323 261 339 206 Nairobi (Kenya) 234 273 266 (Aug. 15) 266 Kiev (Ukraine) 321 420 314 273 Assume that these are typical of values that might be obtained in any other year, and discuss the trends as you move down the columns and along the rows, in terms of your knowledge of stratospheric ozone behavior.

4. Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution in the troposphere of our planet produced when sunlight acts upon motor vehicle exhaust gases to form harmful substances such as ozone (O3). For example, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with atmospheric oxygen (O2) in the presence of light to produce ozone (O3) and nitrogen monoxide (NO).
