Ozone is an unstable, naturally occurring gas. The pure gas smells strongly of sulfur and has a gentle sky-blue hue. The molecule comprises three oxygen atoms (O3), and the spacing between them in a cyclical shape is 1.26 Å. It exists in several mesomeric states in dynamic equilibrium. In this chapter, ozone's physical and chemical properties will be addressed, along with its mechanism of microbial inactivation.

摘要

Ozone is an unstable, naturally occurring gas. The pure gas smells strongly of sulfur and has a gentle sky-blue hue. The molecule comprises three oxygen atoms (O3), and the spacing between them in a cyclical shape is 1.26 Å. It exists in several mesomeric states in dynamic equilibrium. In this chapter, ozone's physical and chemical properties will be addressed, along with its mechanism of microbial inactivation.
