Ozone is an isotope of:
Correct answer: D. None of these options are correct
- A. Oxygen
- B. Hydrogen
- C. Chlorine
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation
Ozone is not an isotope of any element. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. Ozone is a molecule that is made up of three oxygen atoms. The number of neutrons in each oxygen atom is the same, so ozone is not an isotope.The chemical formula for ozone is O₃. It is a pale blue gas that is found in the Earth's atmosphere. Ozone is a very reactive molecule, and it is responsible for protecting the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.The answer is none of these.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
