At any given time, ozone molecules are constantly formed and destroyed in the stratosphere.

One chlorine atom can destroy over 100,000 ozone molecules.

The anion has the V shape of the ozone molecule.

These chemicals enter the atmosphere, where they remain for many decades, combining with and destroying ozone molecules.

A single chlorine atom can destroy over one hundred thousand ozone molecules.

It would be harder for the more massive ozone molecules to diffuse through the balloon wall.

You can guarantee that over during the five ten fifteen years ten thousand ozone molecules are going to be taken up discarded and left.

Furthermore, a single chlorine atom is able to react with 100,000 ozone molecules.

It is estimated that every chlorine molecule has the ability to destroy 100,000 ozone molecules.

Until it does, however, fewer ozone molecules mean the atmosphere absorbs less ultraviolet radiation.
