Oct 21, 2018 at 9:13 comment added Robert Walker You may not realize, but Google has picked up this question and answer as the featured link at the top of the page for "colour of ozone". The advice to google it leads back here. What's more, another chemistry stack exchange answer similarly closed also is in the first page. Also a Wikipedia article on Ozone which says almost nothing on the topic. Luckily Quora comes second. I've added an answer there for those wondering where they can find the colour of ozone quora.com/What-is-the-colour-of-ozone/answer/Robert-Walker-5. Others here might like to add answers there as well.

Jul 10, 2012 at 16:56 comment added ManishEarth Hmm, that meta post is from the earlier days of SO, when rules were much more lax. Issue is, we want good, conceptual questions, not stuff that can be easily Googled. Such stuff is better asked on Chemistry Chat. in this case, it did get a conceptual answer, though the question itself still remains not that good. And don't let closes discourage you--if you can improve it, it may be reopened. If you still feel that this shouldn't have been closed, feel free to post on Chemistry Meta, we can see what the community thinks. (as it is I was unsure about closing this, but another mod agreed)

Jul 10, 2012 at 11:55 comment added user411 I googled this. I got two answers. I just say it in question. Bluish and colorless. Also a specific explanation not getting. Also I think a question closing because of its Googleable not a good practise and discouraging.Thanks.. :(
Jul 10, 2012 at 8:43 comment added Georg Well, of course this is googlable, but why closing for "too localized"?
Jul 9, 2012 at 20:17 comment added ManishEarth This is pretty Googleable, and I'm closing it as such. If anyone disagrees, please let me know (with a reason)
