Question

Ultra-violet radiation from sun light causes the reaction that produce which of the following?

  1. CO
  2. SO2
  3. O3
  4. Fluorides

Answer:

Option C: O3

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “O3”.

Ozone is formed when oxygen molecules (O2) interact with ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This process is known as photolysis. The UV radiation breaks the oxygen molecules into oxygen atoms, which then combine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone (O3).
