The key to forming ozone, is to break apart an oxygen atom. In the tropopause, 215nm or more energetic UV light breaks apart an oxygen molecule. Sometimes a loose oxygen atom attaches to an oxygen molecule. Sometimes a loose oxygen atom attaches to a nitrogen molecule, and some time later, visible light will excite the oxygen "loose" and it will bond with the next oxygen atom it comes in contact with. In the troposphere, ozone is most commonly formed through the interaction between oxygen, NOx (infernal combustion products), VOCs (unburned fuel, biologically-sourced methane, etc), and purple or more energetic light from the Sun.

How is ozone formed in the atmosphere from the ground level up to 50 km?
Ozone is from 50km. It is formed due to suitable conditions.
Which layer in the atmosphere contain most of the ozone gas?
See "In what layer of the atmosphere do you find the ozone layer?" in the "Related questions" section below.
Without ozone layer the simple organic molecules that was formed in primitive Earth would be destroyed by the radiation of you-v ray Why we say that there was no ozone layer in primitive earth's atmos?
There was an ozone atmosphere on primitive Earth, but not an ozone layer which was formed further on. The primitive atmosphere on the surface of the Earth mostly composed by ozone was pushed upwards by the oxygen formed by dead organisms. That primitive ozone atmosphere on the surface of the Earth protected the forming microorganisms from the UV radiation. JamesWest09
The breakdown of the ozone layer is promoted by the emission into the atmosphere of?
Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases used in refrigeration
How are chlorine free radicals are formed in the upper atmosphere?
Chlorine radicals are formed by CFC's. They deplete the ozone layer.
In what layer of the atmosphere is ozone formed?
The ozone is found and formed in the atmosphere. It is formed in the stratosphere.
How ozone is formed in the lower atmosphere?
Ozone as we know in low atmosphere is harmful. It is formed by thunder and lightening.
What takes most of the ozone in the atmosphere?
The ozone is not taken there. It is formed there.
In the upper layer of the atmosphere ozone is formed?
Ozone is formed by UV rays. They are rays from the sun.
In the upper layer of the atmosphare ozone is formed by?
The upper layer of the atmosphere is formed by ozone layer. This is a layer of ozone gas.
How is ozone formed in the atmosphere from the ground level up to 50 km?
Ozone is from 50km. It is formed due to suitable conditions.
How does the chemical makeup of the atmosphere lead to the ozone layer in the lower stratosphere?
The ozone in atmosphere is formed by UV. The UV replenishes it and then depletes it.
What happened to life-forms when the ozone layer formed in the upper atmosphere?
When the ozone layer is formed, the life forms evolved. They were not possible earlier.
How the atmosphere formed and changed?
Atmosphere has changed much with the advent of time. The concentration of ozone in atmosphere has gone down.
Which layer in the atmosphere contain most of the ozone gas?
See "In what layer of the atmosphere do you find the ozone layer?" in the "Related questions" section below.
In what layer does the ozone hole form?
The ozone hole in formed in the stratosphere region of the atmosphere. It is because most of the ozone is present in that layer.
Without ozone layer the simple organic molecules that was formed in primitive Earth would be destroyed by the radiation of you-v ray Why we say that there was no ozone layer in primitive earth's atmos?
There was an ozone atmosphere on primitive Earth, but not an ozone layer which was formed further on.
