The greenhouse gases acts as catalysts in destruction of ozone. The destruction is mainly caused by CFC's.
Halogen Radicals can be called as catalyst in ozone destruction. They speed up the depletion of the ozone gas.
The PSC's act as catalysts in the destruction of ozone. These are clouds on which CFC's destroy ozone.
The ozone in the atmosphere is good ozone. It is there because of the UV. The UV created the ozone and they are responsible for it's destruction.
CFC's are catalysts. They fasten the rate of reaction.
Chlorine has been found at high altitudes. Oxygen can be bonded with chlorine, since it is more electronegative than chlorine. Under solar irradiation present at the elevation of the "ozone layer", chlorine can be excited to take an oxygen atom from the ozone molecule, and later yield that oxygen atom up to a passing oxygen atom that might otherwise make ozone. It can even pass the lone oxygen on to another ozone molecule, forming 2O2 molecules. The chlorine is then in a receptive state to do it again.
Destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere
Ozone layer is a vital part of the atmosphere and environment. It is because it prevents us from destruction of UV rays.
Ozone is very vital. If it is removed, it will be destruction for life on earth.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform are substances that contribute to ozone destruction. These chemicals release chlorine and bromine atoms when they break down in the atmosphere, which then catalyze the breakdown of ozone molecules in the stratosphere.
Carbon dixoide is the major gas. It depletes the ozone.
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.
One of the factors contributing to the destruction of the ozone layer is the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere. These chemicals break down ozone molecules when they reach the stratosphere, leading to ozone depletion.
