absorbed. The O3 molecule is very reactive and it bonds easily with other
molecules it the atmosphere. When and oxygen atom from the ozone reacts
with a chloride ion from chlorine monoxide, the ozone molecule is destroyed.
So chlorine monoxide is an ozone destroyer. There is always a certain
amount of chlorine monoxide in the atmosphere.
It is important to remember that ozone is constantly be .....
