Question

Explain the formation of the ozone layer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ozone layer is produced naturally in the stratosphere when highly energetic solar radiation strikes molecules of oxygen and cause the two oxygen atoms to split apart in a process called Photolysis. If a free atom collides with another O2, it joins up, forming ozone O3.......

Answer 2

Hey mate!!

here's your answer...

»Ozone is produced naturally in the stratosphere when highly energetic solar radiation strikes molecules of oxygen, O2, and cause the two oxygen atoms to split apart in a process called photolysis.

»Formation of Ozone layer :

»Stratospheric ozone is formed naturally by chemical reactions involving solar ultraviolet radiation (sunlight) and oxygen molecules, which make up 21% of the atmosphere.

Steps are :-

1. solar ultraviolet radiation breaks apart one oxygen molecule (O2) to produce two oxygen atoms (2 O).
2. UV rays cause splitting of Oxygen molecules into atoms. These free atoms hit normal Oxygen molecules to form triatomic Oxygen or Ozone.

»Additional information :

»The ozone layer is mainly found in the lower portion of the stratosphere, from approximately 15 to 35 kilometers (9.3 to 21.7 mi) above Earth, although its thickness varies seasonally and geographically. The ozone layer was discovered in 1913 by the French physicists Charles Fabry and Henri Buisson.
