It oxidizes cyanide to cyanate and is used instead of chlorine to disinfect water.
A Criegee intermediate is formed when this compound reacts in a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to cleave the double bond in an alkene. Its concentration is sometimes measured in Dobson units. It oxidizes cyanide to cyanate and is used instead of chlorine to disinfect water. A namesake cycle sees the recombination of this compound catalyzed by free radicals such as those released by chlorofluorocarbons. Pale blue with a sharp odor, it is present in the stratosphere where it absorbs UV rays. For 10 points, name this triatomic form of oxygen found in a namesake layer in the atmosphere.
