Decomposition of ozone shows negative order with respect to oxygen. In this reaction, order of reaction with respect ozone is 2, the order of reaction with respect to oxygen is -1 and the overall order of the reaction is 1.
Order of reaction with respect to oxygen is negative because if the concentration of oxygen is doubled, the rate of the reaction decreases by two times.
