CFC's are catalysts. They fasten the rate of reaction.
The destruction of ozone by CFC's is a chemical reaction. It happens in the stratospheric region.
it does not cause the creation of the ozone.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are chemicals that react with and cause the destruction of stratospheric ozone. When released into the atmosphere, CFCs break down and release chlorine atoms, which then catalyze the breakdown of ozone molecules. This depletion of ozone leads to the formation of the ozone hole in the stratosphere.
False: The destruction of the ozone layer is not a natural process, but primarily caused by human activities such as the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere. This thinning of the ozone layer leads to increased levels of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth's surface, which can have adverse effects on human health and the environment.
In order to save the ozone layer,we have to curb the use of CFCs. These CFcs are the ones that help in the destruction of ozone.
The CFC's are present in the ozone layer. They make oxides with ozone and deplete it.
Chlorine atoms
CFC's react with ozone.They decompose it.
The main cause of destruction of the ozone layer is the release of man-made chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere. When these CFCs reach the stratosphere, they break down ozone molecules, leading to a reduction in the ozone layer's thickness.
In order to help to minimize the destruction of ozone layer, we have to curb the use of CFCs. CFCs are the compounds that are the main reason behind ozone depletion.
