Question

what is another dangerous gas that forms in the immediate area surrounding the electric arc?

nitrogen

ozone

helium

hydrogen

Explanation:

When an electric arc occurs, the high - energy discharge can cause the formation of ozone. Nitrogen is a common and relatively stable gas in the atmosphere and not typically formed as a dangerous gas in this context. Helium is an inert gas and not formed in this situation. Hydrogen is also not formed in the immediate area around an electric arc in the way described. Ozone (\(O_3\)) can be formed from the reaction of oxygen (\(O_2\)) molecules under the influence of the high - energy electric arc.

Answer:

ozone
