Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that oxygen exists in several allotropes, which are different forms of the same element with distinct molecular structures.
Recognize that the most common form of oxygen is dioxygen, which consists of two oxygen atoms per molecule, represented as O\_2.
Identify that superoxide and peroxide refer to specific oxygen-containing ions or radicals, not molecular forms of elemental oxygen.
Recall that ozone is the allotrope of oxygen composed of three oxygen atoms per molecule, represented as O\_3.
Conclude that the form of oxygen combining three oxygen atoms into each molecule is called ozone.
