Answer:

When ultraviolet light waves (UV) strike CFC* (CFCl3) molecules in the upper atmosphere, a carbon-chlorine bond breaks, producing a chlorine (Cl) atom.

The chlorine atom then reacts with an ozone (O3) molecule breaking it apart and so destroying the ozone.

A single CFC molecule can destroy 100,000 ozone molecules.

Explanation: Once in the atmosphere, CFCs drift slowly upward to the stratosphere, where they are broken up by ultraviolet radiation, releasing chlorine atoms, which are able to destroy ozone molecules..
