What catalyst is effective in the destruction of atmospheric ozone O3?

Answer 1

Chlorine has been found at high altitudes. Oxygen can be bonded with chlorine, since it is more electronegative than chlorine. Under solar irradiation present at the elevation of the "ozone layer", chlorine can be excited to take an oxygen atom from the ozone molecule, and later yield that oxygen atom up to a passing oxygen atom that might otherwise make ozone. It can even pass the lone oxygen on to another ozone molecule, forming 2O2 molecules. The chlorine is then in a receptive state to do it again.

Answer 2

Chlorine and bromine compounds, such as CFCs and halons, are effective catalysts in the destruction of atmospheric ozone (O3). When these compounds are released into the atmosphere, they can react with ozone molecules, leading to their breakdown and depletion of the ozone layer.

Answer 3

The catalyst which is effective is CFC. They increase the speed of decomposition of ozone.

Answer 4

carbon dioxide that comes from the vehicles that we drive destroy the ozone layer because we are careless

Answer 5

CFC's destroy ozone. They are formed of Chlorine and Fluorine.

Answer 6

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
