What happens when high energy ultraviolet radiations act on the oxygen at the higher level of atmosphere ?
don't spam plz ✂️✂️​

Answer 1

In the stratosphere, ozone is created primarily by ultraviolet radiation. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen. A freed oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone...

⚽ Ozone layer forms due to a combination of the molecular and elemental form of oxygen in the presence of UV rays. When high energy ultraviolet radiations act on the oxygen at the high level of atmosphere ozone is formed.
