The problem of ozone depletion is caused by stratosphere by high levels of compounds.

Chlorine and Bromine

Chlorine and Carbon

Silicon and Bromine

Silicon and Hydrogen

- Ozone depletion occurs when specific chemicals interact with ozone in the stratosphere, reducing its concentration.

- Option 1: Chlorine and Bromine

- These elements are components of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons.

- CFCs and halons released into the atmosphere are broken down by UV radiation, releasing chlorine and bromine atoms.

- These atoms then break down ozone molecules, reducing the ozone layer.

- Option 2: Chlorine and Carbon

- While carbon is a component of many industrial gases, it is not directly responsible for ozone depletion when combined with chlorine.

- Option 3: Silicon and Bromine

- Silicon is not involved in ozone layer depletion processes.

- Bromine is, but in combination with different elements like chlorine.

- Option 4: Silicon and Hydrogen

- Neither silicon nor hydrogen are involved in the ozone depletion process.

- Option 1: Chlorine and Bromine is the correct answer.
