CFCs Affect on Ozone Image Map



Free atomic chlorine is produced from ultrviolet radiation. In the above image map and subsequent maps, you may select any product of the reaction to determine its fate. As you explore the various maps, develop in your mind the pattern involved in the reactions. Questions to guide you might be:

What are the catalytic cycles that destroy ozone?
Which products from the reactions are stable? Unstable and thus free radicals?
What role does U.V. radiation play in the reactions?
