Theoretically, 1 chlorine free radical could do this. The number of ozone molecules broken down by the free radical before the chain is terminated depends on a lot of factors, though, and a million seems like a very high value.

What does chlorine contain?
Chlorine is an element; it contains only chlorine atoms. It its elemental form it forms diatomic molecules.
Chlorine gas is a diatomic molecule Cl2. There are 6.00 mol of chlorine atoms in a sample of chlorine gas. How many moles of chlorine gas is this?
there are 6 molecules of chlorine gas
How many atoms does 2 SnCl4..chlorine.. have?
2SnCl4 has 10 atoms. There are two molecules of the equation, each with 1 Sn atom and 4 CL atoms.
How many atoms are there in three carbon tetrachloride molecules?
5, one carbon & four chlorine. The prefix tetra- means four, and thus there are four chlorine atoms in a molecule of carbon tetrachloride.
What is the total number of atoms in 1 mole of chlorine?
The answer depends on whether chlorine element or chlorine molecule is considered. 1 mole of Cl2 gas (chlorine molecule) has 6.023 x 1023 molecules or 12.046 x 1023 atoms. 1 mole of Cl element has 6.023 x 1023 atoms.
What atoms in the CFC molecule can destroy thousands of ozone molecules in the upper atmosphere?
The CFC's molecules are ODS. They react with ozone to deplete it. The Chlorine and Fluorine are main atoms.
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.
How many chlorine atoms does it take to destroy 100000 ozone molecules in the stratosphere?
It's funny because I just read in my textbook, which was printed this year 2012, that one chlorine atom can destroy "ONE Million" ozone molecules. They do not explain why. It is more then likely goofball science that no one can back up. I'm no chem expert, but... Cl + O3 YIELDS destruction of (thousands/millions) O3 molecules. Yeah right.
Which atoms in the CFC molecule can destroy thousands of ozone molecules in upper atmosphere?
The CFC molecules are man made chemicals for refrigeration. The molecules on reaction release 2 gases. These gases are Chlorine and Fluorine.
What is decomposed by chlorine atoms?
ozone molecules
Is chlorine an atom or molecule?
Chlorine is an element, symbol Cl. All elements are composed of atoms but they can also form molecules. Chlorine gas is composed of molecules of chlorine, composed of two chlorine atoms per molecule, formula Cl2.
How many moles of chlorine can be made from 4.37E18 atoms of chlorine?
Chlorine gas is Cl2If you have 4.37 x 1018 atoms, you will have half that number of chlorine molecules.4.37 x 1018 atoms of Cl x 0.5 molecules of Cl2 / atoms of Cl = 2.20 x 1018 molecules of Cl2There are 6.02 x 1023 'things' in a mole.2.20 x 1018 molecules of Cl ÷ 6.02 x 1023 molecules / mole = 3.65 x 10-6 mole of Cl2.
What makes up chlorine?
Chlorine is composed of chlorine atoms, usually bonded together in two-atom molecules (Cl2)
How do chlorofluorocarbons harm the environment?
This decomposition releases chlorine atoms that destroy the ozone.
What is empirical formula of chlorine and Iodine?
Chlorine and iodine are both elements that form diatomic molecules (molecules that consist of two atoms). One atom of chlorine is symbolised by Cl; however, single atoms of chlorine do not exist unattached to other atoms. One molecule of chlorine is Cl2. The situation is the somewhat similar for iodine, and a molecule of iodine is I2. Please see the links.
