Answer» Solution :![]() (b) Ozone at the higher levels of the atmosphere is a PRODUCT of UV RADIATION acting on oxygen `(O_2)` molecule. The higher energy UV RADIATIONS split apart some moleculer oxygen `(O_2)` into free oxygen (O) atoms. These atoms then COMBINE with the MOLECULAR oxygen to form ozone as shown : `O_2overset(UV)rarrO" + "O` `O" + "O_2rarrunderset(("Ozone"))(O_3)` |
