In 1980s atmospheric scientists working in Antarctica reported about depletion of ozone layer commonly known as ozone hole over the South pole. Which of the statements are correct ?

A

In summers, `NO_(2)` and `CH_(4)` react with chlorine monoxide and chlorine atoms forming chlorine sinks, preventing much ozone depletion.

B

In summers, special type of clouds called polar stratospheric clouds are formed over Antarctica.

C

The polar stratospheric clouds provide surface on which chlorine nitrate gets hydrolysed to form hypochlorous acid.

D

Chlorine nitrate also reacts with hydrogen chloride to give molecular chlorine.

Which one of the following is responsible for depletion of the ozone layer inf the atmosphere?

Ozone is an unstable, dark blue diamagnetic gas. It absorbs strongly the UV radiation, thus protecting the people on the earth from the harmful UV radiation from the sun. The use of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) in aerosols and refrigerators, and their subsequent escape into the atmosphere, is blamed for making holes in the ozone layer over the Antarctic, and Arctic. Ozone acts as a strong oxidizing agent in acidic and alkaline medium. For this property ozone is used as a germicide and disinfectant for sterilizing water and improving the atmosphere of crowded places. which of the following statements is correct ?
