Ozone consists of three oxygen atoms (03) and water consists of hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O). Would you consider both products to be molecules? Explain your answer.

yes both are molecules

Explanation:

A molecule is the smallest particle of a substance that can exist alone and still retain the chemical properties of that substance.

Molecules are usually made up of two or more atoms of the same or different elements chemically combined together. for example, two atoms of hydrogen will combine to form a molecule of hydrogen gas. Similarly, an atom of hydrogen can combine with an atom of chlorine to form hydrogen chloride gas molecule.

Ozone is a molecule which consists of three atoms of oxygen chemically combined together.

Similarly, water is a molecule composed of two atoms of hydrogen and an atom of oxygen chemically combined together.

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
