It's an element. Ordinary methods of breaking down chemicals, like catalysts and enzymes, can only get a contaminant down to its constituent elements - if you want to break down carbon monoxide, for instance, you'd wind up with a pile of carbon and some oxygen which would go off into the air as all gases do. Chlorine's already an element so you can't go any farther.
When CFC molecules are exposed to ultraviolet radiation in the upper atmosphere, they break down and release chlorine atoms. This happens because the high-energy UV radiation is able to break the strong carbon-chlorine bond in the CFC molecule, leading to the formation of chlorine atoms.
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.
Chlorine is the element in chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that is responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer. When CFCs are released into the atmosphere, they break down and release chlorine atoms, which then react with ozone molecules to break them apart, leading to ozone layer depletion.
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.
Compounds that can easily break ozone molecules are known as ozone-depleting substances (ODS). Examples of ODS include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform. These compounds release chlorine or bromine atoms when they break down in the atmosphere, which can then catalyze the destruction of ozone molecules.

It cannot Break down Urea
Yes, it can broken down into two elements: copper & chlorine
Do you mean elemental chlorine, or the "chlorine" that's used in swimming pools?Sunlight can break down swimming pool "chlorine". For that matter, it can break down elemental chlorine also, into two chlorine free radicals, which are much more reactive than elemental chlorine (which is, itself, kinda reactive). Sunlight can cause a mixture of elemental chlorine and elemental hydrogen to explode.Free radical chlorine is serious business. It's one of the prime culprits in the degradation of the Earth's ozone layer.
No, 11 is a prime number, you cannot break it into factors.
Potassium and Chlorine. Lead and nitrogen were recently proven to not really be elements, because you can break them down into potassium and chlorine. :)
To change combined chlorine to free available chlorine, you can perform a shock treatment by adding a chlorine shock product to the pool water. This will help break down the combined chlorine compounds and convert them back into free available chlorine. Make sure to follow the product instructions carefully and retest the water after treatment to ensure proper chlorine levels.
Humans cannot break down cellulose because it contains beta glucose and the enzymes that humans have cannot break down beta glucose.
No you cannot because it is hard to break down

Urea
its the urea.
