Chlorofluorocarbons are more commonly known as CFCs. CFCs were once used as refrigerants, <span>propellants (in aerosol applications), and solvents. Once CFCs enter </span>the atmosphere, they slowly<span> rise to the stratosphere. Here, ultraviolet radiation causes the break up of CFCs into their individual chlorine atoms. The chlorine atoms cause the catalytic destruction of</span> ozone<span>. </span>

The chlorine in chlorofluorocarbons is broken from the molecule by ultraviolet radiation. The free chlorine then combines with an oxygen atom from ozone, leaving an oxygen molecule and forming chlorine monoxide. Free molecules of oxygen can displace the chlorine in chlorine monoxide, leaving chlorine free to break up another molecule of ozone. One chlorine atom can destroy up to 100,000 ozone molecules.

50 points and brainleist how can i gain weight if i was born 4 days early than due date DON'T GOOGLE
ivann1987 [24]
Being born a few days before your due date shouldn’t cause a big difference in your health. To gain weight you should try to eat thing high in protein, healthy fats, and some carbs. Most people try to gain weight by eating foods with a lot of saturated fat (is potato chips) but try to maintain a diet with a good calorie intake.

However I am not a professional and if you are worried about your weight, go to a nutritional to see what meal plan they will give you

This is what I try to eat, I am 100 pounds, 5.2, female.
Eggs (taste terrible in my opinion but are extremely nutritious) for breakfast
Salad with chicken for one meal
Meat dish with rice, or vegetables, sometimes spaghetti
