How is ozone produced in stratosphere?

Question:

How is ozone produced in stratosphere?

Solution:

The ozone layer is formed in the stratosphere by the action of U. V radiations on the atmospheric oxygen. UV radiations cause the splitting or dissociation of molecular oxygen to two oxygen atoms

O 2 (g) → O (g) + O (g)

Now the oxygen atom combines with other molecular oxygen to form Ozone

O (g) + O2 (g) → O3 (g)
