Which molecules damages the ozone layer what is its size?
The molecules that destroy ozone at CFC's. Chlorine molecule are the ones.
The process by which an ozone molecule loses one of its oxygen atom?
The process by which an ozone molecule loses one atom is depletion. It is due to CFC's and UV.
What happens when a CFC molecule comes near a ozone molecule?
When CFC molecule comes near ozone, it reacts with it. This leads to depletion of ozone layer.
How many ozone layers are distroyed by cfc molecule?
A CFC molecule is very harmful. It can destroy 100,000 molecules of ozone.
How do CFC thinn ing the ozone layer?
CFC's are thinning the ozone layer by depleting it. They react with ozone molecule to decompose them into oxygen molecule and nascent oxygen.
What originally damages the ozone layer?
The CFC's by humans damage the ozone layer. They react with ozone to deplete it.
Why is CFC not used in fridges anymore?
Because it damages the ozone layer.
What happens if chloroflorocarbon increases in the ozonelayer?
the uv rays will hit the cfc molecule and chlorine atom breaks awaythe chlorine atom hits the ozone molecule and forms a molecule of oxygen and a molecule of oxygen and a molecule of oxygen and a molecule of chlorine monoxide.an oxygen atom hits the chlorine monoxide and forms a molecule of oxygen leaving the chlorine atom.now the chlorine atom is free to its depletion.one chlorine atom is good enough to dameage millions of ozone.
What molecule causes ozone depletion?
CFC's cause ozone depletion. They react with ozone to deplete it.
CFC's may cause ozone depletion by?
CFC's may cause ozone depletion by reacting with ozone. They react and decompose them to form other chlorine and fluorine compounds thus depleting the ozone layer.
What damages ozone?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) are the ones that destroy ozone. These molecules initiate a chain reaction inside the ozone layer which destroys huge amounts of ozone.
Which atom of the CFC molecule causes ozone depletion?
The chlorine molecule destroys the ozone. CFCs were released at ground level during the second half of the twentieth century. Ten years later global winds had spread them around the world and up to the lower stratosphere where the ozone layer is. A combination of forces splits the chlorine from the CFC and it destroys an ozone molecule. The chlorine survives and goes on to find another victim. These CFCs remain in the atmosphere fro 50 to 75 years, so scientists are hoping that by 2060 the ozone layer will have repaired itself.
