Explain why ozone is thermodynamically less stable then oxgen ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since formation of ozone from oxygen is endothermic, therefore, `O_(3)` is thermodynamically less stable than `O_(2)`
`3O_(2)(g) overset("Silent electric discharge")(hArr) 2O_(3)(g), DeltaH^(@)(298 K) = + 142 kJ mol^(-1)`
