write two chemical reactions involved in the formation of ozone in the upper layers of atmosphere

Good Afternoon
how are you?
Ozone (O3) is a molecule made up of three atoms of oxygen (O)
Ozone is naturally produced in the stratosphere by a twostep reactive process. In the first step, solar ultraviolet
radiation (sunlight) breaks apart an oxygen molecule to
form two separate oxygen atoms. In the second step, each
atom then undergoes a binding collision with another
oxygen molecule to form an ozone molecule. In the overall process, three oxygen molecules plus sunlight react to
form two ozone molecules.

Stratospheric ozone.
In the first step, solar ultraviolet radiation breaks apart one oxygen molecule (O2) to produce two oxygen atoms (2 O) (see Figure Q2-1). In the second step, each of these highly reactive atoms combines with an oxygen molecule to produce an ozone molecule (O3).
