Answer:
In stratosphere, a photon with a
wavelength between 180 and 240 nm breaks the \[{{O}_{2}}\] molecule into atomic
oxygen.
\[{{O}_{2}}+hv\xrightarrow[UV-radiaion]{(180-240nm)}O+O\]
Oxygen molecule captures the
atomic oxygen to form an ozone molecule.
\[M+{{O}_{2}}+O\to
{{M}^{*}}+{{O}_{3}}+Heat\]
Thus, overall balanced process
of formation of ozone is:
\[3{{O}_{2}}+hv\to
2{{O}_{3}}+Heat\]
