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.
