Chapter 18, Problem 24E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Lewis structure of ${\text{CFCl}}_3$ and its characteristics which makes this molecule effective in ozone depletion is to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The rate of depletion of ozone layer increases as the number of chlorine atoms increases.

To determine: The Lewis structure of ${\text{CFCl}}_3$ and its chemical characteristics involved in effective ozone layer depletion.
