प्रश्न
Explain why ozone is thermodynamically less stable than oxygen.
उत्तर
Due its disintegration into oxygen results in the release of heat (ΔH is negative) and an increase in entropy (ΔS is positive), ozone is thermodynamically unstable in comparison to oxygen. These two reactions combine to produce a substantial negative Gibbs energy change (ΔG) for its conversion to oxygen.
