Which of the following describes the destruction of the ozone by chlorofluorocarbons?

• A. CFC contains the chlorine molecule which reacts with ozone (O${}_2$) molecule and splits into O${}_2$ and O molecules
• B. Contains the chlorine molecule which reacts with oxygen (O${}_3$) molecule and splits into O${}_2$ and O molecules
• C. CFC contains the fluorine molecule which reacts with ozone (O${}_3$) molecule and splits into O${}_2$ and O molecules
• D. CFC contains the chlorine molecule which reacts with ozone (O${}_3$) molecule and splits into O${}_2$ and O molecules

Answer 1

The correct option is D CFC contains the chlorine molecule which reacts with ozone (O${}_3$) molecule and splits into O${}_2$ and O molecules

The correct answer is 'CFC contains the chlorine molecule which reacts with ozone molecule and splits into O2 and nascent O or Oxygen free radical. The choline is split by the action of sunlight and it causes the reaction move forward.
