How ozone is formed at the higher levels of the atmosphere?

Answer»

Oxygen molecule splits into atomic oxygen(O) at higher levels of an atmosphere because of higher energy of UV radiations: 

So, O2 ⇾ O + O 

Each of the atomic oxygen then combines with another oxygen (O2) molecule which gives rise to ozone (O3

O2 + O ⇾ O3(ozone).
