ozone. Although ozone means “fresh, pure air” in everyday speech (the reason for place-names like Ozone Park, New York), it translates as “stinking air,” deriving from the Greek ozein, “to stink.” German chemist Christian Friedrich Schon- bein coined the name of this stable, pale bluish gas in 1840. Schonbein wrote that he named this most reactive form of oxy- gen (O3) “ozone because of its strong smell,” which he thought was similar to chlorine. |
