Assertion : Ozone in the troposphere is a product of ultraviolet radiations acting on dioxygen molecules. Reason : Ozone is thermodynamically very stable.

Ozone is an unstable, dark blue diamagnetic gas. It absorbs strongly the UV radiation, thus proteching the people on the earth from the harmful UV radiation from the sun. The use of chloroflurocarbon (CFC) in aeroslos and refrigrators, and their subsequent escape into the atomsphere, is blamond for making holes in the ozone layer over the Antarctic, and Arctic. Ozone acts as a strong oxdising agent in acidic and alkaline medium. For this property ozone is used as a germicide and disinfectant for sterillising water and improving the atmosphere of croweded places. CFC damages ozone layer by reactions :
