Solution. O stands for an atom of oxygen. 2O refers to two atoms of oxygen which are not chemically bonded. O2 refers to a molecule of oxygen in which atoms are chemically bonded to give a molecule of oxygen gas. 3O2 refers to three molecules of oxygen.
Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive gas composed of three oxygen atoms. It is both a natural and a man-made product that occurs in the Earth's upper atmosphere. (the stratosphere) and lower atmosphere (the troposphere). Depending on where it is in the atmosphere, ozone affects life on Earth in either good or bad ways.

Oxygen is written as O2 when there are two oxygen atoms in the molecule. Pure oxygen doesn't generally exist as individual atoms, two oxygen atoms bond together to form an oxygen molecule. This is because oxygen is highly reactive, disconnected atoms have a very strong tendency to form bonds.
Oxygen is a chemical element with an atomic number of 8 (it has eight protons in its nucleus). Oxygen forms a molecule (O2) of two atoms which is a colorless gas at normal temperatures and pressures.
