Question:
Many chemical reactions that occur in the atmosphere and stratosphere involve free radicals. Free radical formation occurs when a photon of light is absorbed and the energy of the radiation being absorbed causes a chemical bond in the compound to break. Which of the following bonds requires the most energy (and the most energetic radiation) to be broken?
(a) The oxygen-oxygen bond in O2
(b) The chlorine-carbon bond in CCl2F2
(c) The oxygen-oxygen bond in O3
