No, ozone is a type (allotrope) of oxygen. It is three oxygen atoms bonded into a molecule, and the central oxygen is very unhappy (missing an extra electron). So it is more chemically active than any form of chlorine.

How chloride changes ozone to bad ozone?
There is no "good" or "bad" ozone. All ozone is O3. Ozone in the stratosphere protects us from ultraviolet radiation. Chlorine in the stratosphere interacts with the ozone there to convert it to O2 or normal oxygen, removing its ability to interact with UV. Ozone in the troposphere (ground level air) or the workplace is an air pollutant. Chlorine as no role in its formation or destruction.
What are two chemicals used to purify water?
chlorine and ozone
What substance must be added to city water to kill germs?
Either chlorine or ozone.
Can residual ozone in water be measured using chlorotex?
Chlorotex is used to test chlorine in water.
What does the symbol CIO stand for?
It is chlorine monoxide, which plays an important role in destroying the earth's ozone layer.
What is the relationship between stratospheric levels of atomic chlorine and ozone?
As chlorine increases, ozone is destroyed. Chlorine (from CFCs) is the cause of the ozone holes.
How long can one molecule of chlorine destroy the ozone when released into the atmosphere?
A chlorine molecule is very fatal to the ozone molecules. A single chlorine atom can destroy 100,000 moelcules of ozone.
As the concentration in chlorine rises what happens to the consentration of ozone?
As chlorine rises, ozone depletes. It is present as CFC's.
Does chlorine released from natural sources cause ozone depletion?
Yes it does. Chlorine depletes the ozone layer.
What type of molecules damage the ozone layer?
The molecules that damage the ozone layer are chlorine molecules. These molecules are the main destructive reason behind depletion.
What type of molecules can damage the ozone layer?
The molecules that damage the ozone layer are chlorine molecules. These molecules are the main destructive reason behind depletion.
What atom hurts the ozone?
Chlorine atom hurts the ozone. It depletes the ozone.
Why are small quantities of chloroflorocarbons harmful to the ozone layer?
Free oxygen atoms can replace the chlorine in chlorine monoxide, releasing a free atom of chlorine which can then recombine with an oxygen atom in ozone, destroying more ozone.
What type of chemicals play the major role in the destruction of the ozone layer?
The chemicals that play major role in ozone depletion are chlorofluorocarbons. These compounds contain chlorine which can destroy large amounts of ozone molecules.
Why does CFC react to ozone?
Chlorine and bromine separate from the CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) and destroy the ozone molecules. The chlorine and bromine atoms are not changed, so they continue destroying ozone. One chlorine atom can destroy up to 100,000 molecules of ozone during its lifetime in the atmosphere.
How chlorofluorocarbon affect ozone layer?
It turns ozone into oxygen gas, which destroys the ozone layer.
Where are molecules of chlorine brought together with ozone at the poles?
The molecules of chlorine are brought by CFC's. They are harmful chemicals with react with ozone to deplete it.
