Question

how is ozone formed in upper part of atmosphere of the earth

Answer 1

Ozone is formed as ultraviolet radition from the sun breaks down oxygen in the atmosphere, O2, into atomic oxygen with a single atom. ... In the stratosphere, the destruction of ozone occurs as quickly as ozone is formed. Sunlight in the upper atmosphere can easily split ozone into an oxygen atom and an oxygen molecule.

Answer 2

❤❤here is your answer ✌ ✌ ✌

➡Ozone is formed as ultraviolet radition from the sun breaks down oxygen in the atmosphere, O2, into atomic oxygen with a single atom.

O2 + sunlight -- O + O

The excited free oxygen atom can bond with O2 to form ozone.

O + O2 -- O3

➡In the stratosphere, the destruction of ozone occurs as quickly as ozone is formed. Sunlight in the upper atmosphere can easily split ozone into an oxygen atom and an oxygen molecule. Also, an excited oxygen atom can react with an ozone molecule to create two oxygen molecules. Under natural conditions there is a balance between the creation and destruction of ozone moleclues in the stratosphere.

O3 + sunlight -- O2 + O

O + O3 -- O2 + O2
