Ozone is a powerful oxidising agent next to fluorine. It is much stronger oxidising agent than oxygen because on easy decomposition it forms nascent oxygen.

O_{3} ⟶ O_{2} + [O]

It is also true that

O_{3}

diamagnetic while

O_{2}

is paramagnetic.

Ozone is a powerful oxidising agent next to fluorine. It is much stronger oxidising agent than oxygen because on easy decomposition it forms nascent oxygen. O3​⟶O2​+[O] It is also true that O3​ diamagnetic while O2​ is paramagnetic.

Q. Assertion : Ozone is a powerful oxidising agent in comparison to $O_{2}$ .
Reason : Ozone is diamagnetic but $O_{2}$ is paramagnetic.

Ozone is a powerful oxidising agent next to fluorine. It is much stronger oxidising agent than oxygen because on easy decomposition it forms nascent oxygen.
$O_{3} ⟶ O_{2} + [O]$
It is also true that $O_{3}$ diamagnetic while $O_{2}$ is paramagnetic.
