单词 ozone
释义
ozone
(once / 2609 pages)
n

Ozone is a colorless toxic gas formed from oxygen by an electrical discharge. It’s that stuff in the sky that comes between you and the sun.
If there weren’t a hole in the ozone layer, you’d probably hear the word ozone much less often. Certainly, we should be thankful that the powerful ozone is up there protecting us from the sun’s rays, but you don’t want to encounter ozone closer to the ground — it’s toxic. It also has a very strong smell, which is how it got its name; a German chemist took the name from the Greek ozon, meaning "to smell."
WORD FAMILY
ozone: ozonise, ozonize+/ozonise: ozonised, ozonises/ozonize: ozonized
USAGE EXAMPLES
