Some energy is released, as O binds to O2.
No. The ozone layer has no effect on the formation of smog.
UV is associated for ozone formation. It is the radiation of the sun.
Ozone formation is a chemical process. When oxygen is treated with UV radiations oxygen gets converted into ozone.

Halons and CFC s both destroy ozone in the stratosphere.
Yes, the formation and destruction of ozone is an equilibrium reaction in the stratosphere.The formation and destruction of ozone is an ongoing process between oxygen and ultraviolet light in the stratosphere. Problems with the ozone layer developed when chlorine from chlorinated hydrocarbons (freon and CGS, etc) moved the equilibrium point in the ozone formation/destruction cycle towards a state of less ozone.Efforts to reduce the use and release of chlorinated hydrocarbons has receded the chlorinated hydrocarbons in the atmosphere and returned to ozone levels to a more normal equilibrium point.
Compounds that contain double or triple bonds, such as alkenes or alkynes, can react with ozone. This reaction results in the breaking of the double or triple bond and the formation of oxygen-containing compounds. This reaction is commonly known as ozonolysis.
Oxygen is the main element. It is the reason for ozone formation. The ozone is a triatomic form of oxygen.
Weather contributes to the formation of bad ozone. Thunder causes oxygen molecule to change into ozone.
Ozone gas has enthalpy of formation. It is due to the high altitude.
Ozone protects us. It protects from the harmful UV rays of the sun.
