Question
In the atmosphere ozone decomposes photochemically by the
reaction
O3 + hv→ O(³P) + O₂ 315 < < 1200 nm
O3 + hv→ O(¹D) + O₂ λ <315 nm
Explain in detail what the two reaction equations mean. Why will
longer wavelength lead to O(³P), while shorter wavelength are needed
to give O(¹D)? Can another type of oxygen atom exist? Under which
circumstances would it form?
