Ozone is an unstable, dark blue diamagnetic gas. It absorbs strongly the UV radiation, thus protecting the people on the earth from the harmful UV radiation from the sun. The use of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) in aerosols and refrigerators, and their subsequent escape into the atmosphere, is blamed for making holes in the ozone layer over the Antarctic, and Arctic. Ozone acts as a strong oxidizing agent in acidic and alkaline medium.
