Since the CFCs contain chlorine, breaking them up would result in the release of these reactive atoms. Each chlorine atom combined with one oxygen atom from an ozone molecule, which is also reactive, to yield a chlorine monoxide molecule and an oxygen molecule. In other words, the CFCsâ chlorine atoms attack ozone.While this process of CFCs dissociating is happening, the ultraviolet radiation also causes oxygen molecules to break down into free oxygen atoms.ince the CFCs contain chlorine, breaking them up would result in the release of these reactive atoms.
