CFC's are unstable. they break down to deplete ozone.
Yes! Once cfc's are released into the atmosphere the travel into the statosphere where they linger for hundreds of years & under the influance of sun light a chlorine atom is released from the cfc molecule.
Chlorine is the component of CFC refrigerants that is responsible for ozone depletion. When CFCs are released into the atmosphere and reach the stratosphere, they break down under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, releasing chlorine atoms that catalyze the destruction of ozone molecules.
HCFC refrigerants contain hydrogen, which makes them less harmful to the ozone layer compared to CFC refrigerants that contain chlorine. When CFCs break down in the atmosphere, they release chlorine atoms that can destroy ozone molecules. In contrast, HCFCs break down more quickly and release fewer chlorine atoms, reducing their ozone-depleting potential.
Chemicals released into the atmosphere, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), break ozone down into oxygen molecules and chlorine atoms through a series of chemical reactions. The chlorine atoms then react with ozone molecules, leading to the depletion of the ozone layer.
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.
Mainly Chlorine

No...CFC's are the ones which are bad for ozone layer i.e. they deplete it. CFC are actually Chlorine and Florine containing compounds which when come in contact with harmful ultraviolet rays and break down into chlorine and fluorine and thus react with ozone to form compounds which deplete ozone.

Chlorine is the component of CFC refrigerants that is responsible for ozone depletion. When CFCs are released into the atmosphere and reach the stratosphere, they break down under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, releasing chlorine atoms that catalyze the destruction of ozone molecules.
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.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) break down in the stratosphere under ultraviolet light to form chlorine atoms. These chlorine atoms can then react with ozone molecules, leading to the depletion of the ozone layer.
Chlorine atoms in CFC molecules can destroy thousands of ozone molecules in the upper atmosphere. When CFCs break down in the stratosphere due to UV radiation, the chlorine atoms released can catalyze the breakdown of ozone molecules, leading to ozone depletion.
CFCs break down ozone in the atmosphere when they are exposed to ultraviolet radiation. This causes the CFC molecules to release chlorine atoms, which then react with ozone molecules, leading to the destruction of the ozone layer.
