Explain the role of UV radiation in formation of ozone with the help of a chemical reaction. Name the pollutant and write its role in depletion of ozone layer. |
Answer» The high energy of UV radiations breakdown some molecules of O2 into atoms of oxygen. One atom of oxygen binds to one molecule of O to form O3 . Ozone prevents UV rays to reach earth surface. O2 + U.V → O + O O2 + O → O3(Ozone) Example : Chlorofluorocarbons |
