Chlorine monoxide
text:
Chlorine monoxide is a chemical radical with the chemical formula ClO•. It plays an important role in the process of ozone depletion. In the stratosphere, chlorine atoms react with ozone molecules to form chlorine monoxide and oxygen.
- Cl• + O3 → ClO• + O2 This reaction causes the depletion of the ozone layer. The resulting ClO• radicals can further react:
- ClO• + O• → Cl• + O2 regenerating the chlorine radical. In this way, the overall reaction for the decomposition of ozone is catalyzed
