The first step is the dissociation of the chlorine atom:
The oxygen then pushes aside the chlorine atoms, leaving almost no room for the lead to occupy.
The chlorine atoms within them are released and directly attack ozone.
A single chlorine atom can destroy over one hundred thousand ozone molecules.
Furthermore, a single chlorine atom is able to react with 100,000 ozone molecules.
The rest of the unaccounted carbon bonds are occupied by chlorine atoms.
The ten chlorine atoms define a pair of octahedra that share a common edge.
Contamination is predominantly of the type with 2 or 3 chlorine atoms.
Remaining bonds not accounted for are occupied by chlorine atoms.
Moving the chlorine atom around the ring reduces the potency significantly.
