Paragraph five, line five
Ozone is O3 (3 atoms of Oxygen arranged in a triangle) not one atom of oxygen. An oxygen atom has a valency of 2, thus can never occur in nature alone, except as an instable free radical. It forms tight double bonds with another oxygen atom to make a standard oxygen molecule, or looser single bonds with 2 other atoms of oxygen to make ozone.
"(ozone is three oxygen atoms, whereas an oxygen molecule has two oxygen atoms)."

The formula for Nitrous Oxide is N2O, not NO2.
Methane is CH4, not CH3 - Carbon has a valency of 4, bonds with 4 hydrogen atoms (which each have a valency of 1).
