Solution

Dear student,Ozone acts as powerful oxidizing agent because it can easily decompose to give an atom of nascent oxygen which is more reactive than oxygen. A strong oxidizing agent attracts electrons and gets reduced, and is generally represented by halogens or a substance that consists of oxygen.Regards.
