Why are chlorofluorocarbons so damaging to the ozone layer when they are such stable molecules at sea level?
A.
The contain a double bond that ozone readily attacks.
B.
They are very light molecules that rapidly rise into the upper atmosphere and block the radiation that forms ozone.
C.
They are greenhouse gases that raise the temperature above the dissociation temperature of ozone.
D.
The radiation in the stratosphere dissociates C–Cl bonds producing Cl atoms that catalytically destroy ozone.
