Answer #1

By convention the heat of formation of elements in their standard state is zero.

Standard state of an element/compound in thermodynamics is themost stable state of that substance at  given temperature (usually 298K), 1 atm pressure .

H2 (g) is the standard state of hydrogen and thus its heat of formation is ZERO.

Ozone is formed by reaction

3O2(g) ----> 2O3 , and thus possess heat of formation.
