thus, ozone is constantly forming, splitting, and reforming in the stratosphere When UV radiation is absorbed during the process of ozone formation and reformation, it is unable to reach Earth and cause damage there Recently, however, the ozone layer over parts of the Earth has been diminishing Chief among the culprits in the case of the disappearing ozone, those that are really responsible, are the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) CFCs meander up from Earth into the stratosphere, where they break down and release chlorine The released chlorine reacts with ozone in the stratosphere to form chlorine monoxide (ClO) and oxygen (O2) The chlorine then becomes free to go through the cycle over and over again One chlorine atom can, in fact, destroy hundreds of thousands of ozone molecules in this repetitious cycle, and the effects of this destructive process are now becoming evident Question 38: According to the passage, what happens after a chlorine molecule reacts with an ozone molecule?
