When the ozone molecule splits does it make another ozone molecule or many?

When the ozone molecule splits, it forms individual oxygen atoms. These oxygen atoms can either combine with other oxygen molecules to form new ozone molecules or combine with other molecules in the atmosphere. The process of ozone splitting and reforming is part of the Earth's natural ozone cycle.


Is ozone an example of Resonance?

Ozone is not an example of resonance (by all possible meanings). It does have two bonding forms that it occasionally changes between. These two forms are called resonant states... but the bonding does not "resonate" per se.

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.


How does a cfc molecules affect attact on ozone molecules?

The Sun's light breaks the chlorine (or bromine) form the molecule, forms a temporary compound with something else, and ozone attacks that molecule and releases the chlorine (or bromine) again.


What is formed by adding a third oxygen atom to an oxygen molecule?

Adding a third oxygen atom to an oxygen molecule forms ozone (O3). Ozone can be found in the Earth's stratosphere where it plays a key role in filtering out harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.


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.
