Question

Ozone, O, is an important absorber of UV radiation in our atmosphere. Upon absorption of UV
radiation, O, dissociates into molecular oxygen, O₂, and a free oxygen atom. The free oxygen
atom can then join with another O, molecule to create more ozone, which can in turn absorb
more UV radiation. Alternatively, the free oxygen atom could join with O, to create more 0₂.
