Question
Which of the following statements is incorrect?a.Ozone is formed by the interaction of oxygen with UV radiationb.Ozone can be detectedc.Ozone is naturally found in stratosphered.Ozone is the principal component of photochemical smog
Solution
The incorrect statement is: d. Ozone is the principal component of photochemical smog.
While ozone is a component of photochemical smog, it is not the principal component. Photochemical smog, also known as "summer smog", is primarily composed of nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, and sunlight. These components react in the atmosphere to form secondary pollutants, including ozone. However, the principal components are the primary pollutants: nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds.
