Turns out, when UV light hits a CFC molecule, it releases a chlorine atom which basically goes on a killing spree to celebrate. Turning ozone molecules into oxygen which are worthless when it ...
It wasn't until the 1970s that chemists learned that CFCs break into chlorine atoms when exposed to intense UV light from the sun. A chlorine atom can react with ozone to form an oxygen molecule (O2) ...
More commonly known as CFCs, they can be found in fridges, aerosols and plastics. When they’re released into the atmosphere and exposed to sunlight, the UV radiation causes the molecule to break ...
CFCs were routinely used at the time as refrigerants, spray-can propellants and as solvents. Ozone is a molecule that is composed of three oxygen atoms. It is responsible for filtering out harmful ...
