The element is oxygen. The molecule or compound formed is O3, called ozone. The mixture this is commonly found in is air. The molecule oscillates between two bondings... O-O=O and O=O-O. The bonding angle is not 180°, so the molecule is polar.

The ozone layer contains, as does most of the atmosphere, about 78% nitrogen (N2) and 21% oxygen (O2). Ozone (peak value of about 0.0009%) is made from oxygen by the action of UV-C (and more energetic radiation) from our Sun. The specific components don't vary much with altitude, until you get to the exosphere and intense ionization produces vastly different "gases".

What chemical is responsible for the thinning of the protective layer?

The chemical responsible for the thinning of the protective layer of the ozone is chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). These chemicals contain chlorine and fluorine that can react with ozone in the stratosphere, causing it to break down and thin out the ozone layer.
