Why does O3 act as a powerful oxidising agent?
Ozone is not a very stable compound under normal conditions and decomposes readily on heating to give a molecule of oxygen and nascent oxygen. Nascent oxygen, being a free radical, is very reactive.
O3 O2 + [O]
Ozone Oxygen Nascent Oxygen
Therefore, ozone acts as a powerful oxidising agent.
