         strong oxidizing agent; can be produced by electric

ozone \o"zone\ ([=o]"z[=o]n or [-o]*z[=o]n"), n. [Gr. 'o`zwn
   smelling, p. pr. of 'o`zein to smell. See {Odor}.] (Chem.)
   A colorless gaseous substance ({O3}) obtained (as by the
   silent discharge of electricity in oxygen) as an allotropic
   form of oxygen, containing three atoms in the molecule. It is
   a strong oxidizer, and probably exists in the air, though by
   the ordinary tests it is liable to be confused with certain
   other substances, as hydrogen dioxide, or certain oxides of
   nitrogen. It derives its name from its peculiar odor, which
   resembles that of weak chlorine.
