Explanation:
The destruction of ozone is a non-elementary reaction. This means that it does not take place in a single reactive encounter. The reaction rather takes place is a sequence of steps called the reaction mechanism.
We can see that in the overall reaction, ozone is reduced to ordinary oxygen thus the ozone layer is depleted by this reaction. It is a two step reaction as shown.
Both steps (1) and (2) are bimolecular. The equation of the net reaction is shown in the image attached.
