How do chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) contribute to ozone depletion? a. chlorine atom (Cl) breaks apart the ozone molecule b. CFCs build up and block the filtering effects of the ozone layer c. chlorine atom (Cl) bonds to the ozone molecule and changes its chemical properties d. breaks off an oxygen atom (O) and attaches it to a hydroxide ion (OH) to form water CHALLENGE -.-
What do you think it should be ?
oh...is it a challenge ?
YES BWAHHAHAH
;p
Chlorine atom (Cl) bonds to the ozone molecule and changes its chemical properties
correct lol BWAHHAHAHHA
chlorofluorocarbons, are composed of chlorine, oxygen and other substances. The chlorine in this substance is extremely reactive. Under heat and sunlight, a reaction occurs that causes the chlorine to separate, and it moves on to bond to an oxygen atom. The oxygen atom is a component of ozone, or 03, but since the chlorine is so reactive it successfully bonds with that oxygen, and as an oxygen atom is removed o3 becomes O2. I would say C based on this.
CFC i.e CFCl3 is first broken into Cl + CFCl2 by UV rays. This free Cl then reacts with O3 to form ClO + O2
What do you mean by challenge?
Im Challenging you guys cx But @Abhisar Your correct lol
:D
Oh i see
