The 19 pages that link to Photolysis, each with the reason it gives.

• Thermal decompositionCompared with: Light, rather than heating, supplies the energy that starts the breakdown.

• OzoneRelated: Ultraviolet photolysis splits oxygen molecules and also destroys ozone.

• Atmospheric lifetimeRelated: Sunlight breaks down some atmospheric gases, providing a removal pathway.

• Nitrogen oxidesRelated: Sunlight splits NO₂, producing oxygen atoms that help form ground-level ozone.

• Nitrogen dioxideRelated: Sunlight splits NO₂, producing the oxygen atoms that help form ground-level ozone.

• Latent imageRelated: Light initiates the changes that form the latent image in silver halide.

• Chlorine dioxideRelated: Light can decompose chlorine dioxide, affecting its stability during use.

• Environmental persistenceBroader topic: Sunlight can rapidly degrade chemicals exposed at the atmosphere’s surface or in clear water.

• Pesticide residueRelated: Sunlight can break down pesticide residues on exposed crops and surfaces.

• PhotodegradationRelated: Direct bond breaking is one route by which light decomposes materials.

• Environmental fateRelated: Sunlight can transform compounds exposed at the water surface or in air.

• Silver iodideRelated: Light exposure can generate silver atoms within AgI-containing photographic materials.

• Environmental chemistryRelated: Sunlight can transform pollutants in surface waters and the atmosphere.

• Chemical decompositionBroader topic: Light can supply the energy that breaks bonds in a decomposing compound.

• HydrochlorofluorocarbonRelated: Ultraviolet light breaks down HCFC molecules and can release ozone-destroying chlorine.

• Silver nitrateRelated: Light can reduce silver ions in silver nitrate residues, producing dark metallic silver.

• Silver bromideNarrower topic: Silver bromide's light-driven darkening is a specific case of photochemical decomposition.

• 1,1,1-TrichloroethaneRelated: In the stratosphere, ultraviolet light breaks this molecule apart and releases reactive chlorine.

• BromoformRelated: Sunlight can break down bromoform in air and surface waters.
