Explanation:

Answer 2

In the breakdown of the ozone layer, the ozone $O_{3}$ directly reacts with chlorine atoms.

• A huge amount of Chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs is being emitted out by refrigerators, air conditioners, etc on a regular basis.
• These chemicals will remain in the atmosphere forever.
• CFCs contain chlorine, fluorine, and carbon.
• This chemical only reacts with sunlight.
• Sunlight can break down CFCs and result in the release of chlorine.
• Chlorine immediately reacts with the ozone and releases oxygen and chlorine monoxide.
• Oxygen in the atmosphere reacts with the free chlorine monoxide to release more chlorine atoms.
• This results in the continuous breakdown of ozone and causes ozone layer depletion.
