[R] Identifying objects from a data set

[Letticia Ramlal]

Hello 
Given the following data for a data set called airquality. To identify the nature of the objects from the data set airquality example "Ozone" would it be best to use the command is. like is.character(airquality$Ozone) ....... I tried attributes(airquality$Ozone) but it came up null. Would there be a better way to identify these objects.
 
Thanking you in advance for your assistance with my question.
