Detailed Solution

Ozone at higher levels of the atmosphere is a product of UV radiations acting on oxygen molecule (O2) 

                                      

Higher energy UV radiations split some molecular oxygen into free oxygen atom (nacent oxygen) (O).

                                      

These atoms being highly reactive combine with the molecular oxygen to form Ozone.
