Best Answer

The part where ozone naturally decays to an oxygen molecule and an oxygen atom, either due to it being unstable or encountering another ozone molecule. Chlorine (from the CFC, or chloromethane) ties up the oxygen atom, and so it (and the energy it required to break loose) is unavailable to form another ozone molecule.

What is the difference between polling and vector interrupt system?

In a computer, a vectored interrupt is an I/O interrupt that tells the part of the computer that handles I/O interrupts at the hardware level that a request for attention from an I/O device has been received and also identifies the device that sent the request. A vectored interrupt is an alternative to a polled interrupt , which requires that the interrupt handler poll or send a signal to each device in turn in order to find out which one sent the interrupt request.

Do polystyrene containers play a part in the thinning of ozone layer?

At one time, polystyrene foam was blown using CFCs as stable gases for initially filling the little voids in the foam. The CFCs would later diffuse into the atmosphere. Polystyrene foams in most countries are not blown using CFCs as a blowing agent today.
