AN attempt has been made to find the Raman spectrum of ozone, using a 30 per cent solution of ozone in liquid oxygen and a mercury arc as the exciting light. The solution is a dark purple in ...

Most importantly, scientists had, based on chlorofluorocarbon emissions and the chemical reaction pathways, predicted a slow recovery of the ozone layer. We can no longer be confident about that ...

For years, scientists theorized that a molecule called ClOOCl in the stratosphere played a key role in destroying ozone. Now, using measurements from a NASA aircraft laboratory flying over the ...

In the stratosphere, chlorine molecules react with ozone to create one chlorine monoxide molecule (composed of a chlorine atom and an oxygen atom) and one O2 molecule. That chlorine monoxide ...

Ozone, a highly reactive compound comprised of three oxygen atoms, forms one of the most critical components of Earth’s atmosphere. Tight bonds hold the molecule’s oxygen atoms together ...

Chlorine peroxide triggers ozone destruction when the molecule absorbs sunlight and breaks into two chlorine atoms and an oxygen molecule. Free chlorine atoms are highly reactive with ozone ...

WASHINGTON - For years, scientists theorized that a molecule called ClOOCl in the stratosphere played a key role in destroying ozone. Now, using measurements from a NASA aircraft laboratory flying ...
