A minor route for ozone destruction in the ozone hole involves Mechanism II with bromine as X' and chlorine as X (or vice-versa). The CIO and BrO free radical molecules produced in these processes then collide with each other and rearrange their atoms to eventually yield O, and atomic chlorine and bromine. Write out the mechanism for this process, and add up the steps to determine the overall reaction.
