A) \[C{{F}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\]
B) \[{{C}_{7}}{{F}_{16}}\]
C) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{6}}C{{l}_{6}}\]
D) \[{{C}_{6}}{{F}_{6}}\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs or freons like\[C{{F}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\]) are responsible for depletion of the ozone layer in the upper strata of atmosphere. They are stable and inert compounds. They absorb UV-rays and break down liberating free atomic chlorine which causes depletion of ozone through free radical reaction. \[\overset{\bullet }{\mathop{C}}\,l+{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}Cl\overset{\bullet }{\mathop{O}}\,+{{O}_{2}}\] \[Cl\overset{\bullet }{\mathop{O}}\,+{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}\overset{\bullet }{\mathop{C}}\,l+2{{O}_{2}}\]
