What molecules destroy the ozone besides CFC's?

Other molecules that can destroy the ozone layer include halons, methyl bromide, carbon tetrachloride, and nitrous oxide. These molecules can break down ozone in the stratosphere through chemical reactions, leading to ozone depletion.


Which molecules are thought to damage the ozone layer?

CFC molecules damage ozone. They react with ozone and destroy it.


Do CFCs strengthen the ozone layer?

No, the chlorine and other chemicals in CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone molecules and weaken the ozone layer.


What do CFC's do to the ozone molecules?

the chlorine destroy's them


What do CFC's do the ozone molecules?

the chlorine destroy's them


Which molecules damages the ozone layer what is its size?

The molecules that destroy ozone at CFC's. Chlorine molecule are the ones.


Do ozone molecules destroy chlorofluorocarbon molecules?

yes!of course you idiots


Which molecules actually destroy the ozone in the stratosphere?

CFC's deplete ozone. They react with it to deplete it.


What is the reason behind ozone hole?

The main reason behind ozone hole is the reaction of the chlorine molecules from CFC's. These molecules initiate a chain reaction which then destroy the ozone molecules to form the ozone hole.


Can CFC creates ozone layer?

No CFC's cannot create the ozone and ozone layer. They can only destroy ozone molecules in the atmosphere.


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.


Which atoms in the cfc molecule can destroy thousands of ozone molecuels in the upper atmosphere?

Chlorine atoms in CFC molecules can destroy thousands of ozone molecules in the upper atmosphere when they are released due to UV light breaking down the CFC molecules. These chlorine atoms react with ozone molecules, causing them to break apart and reduce the ozone concentration in the atmosphere.
