The statement that is not true about ozone is :

(1) in the stratosphere, CFCs release chlorine free radicals $\require{mhchem}\ce{(Cl)}$ which reacts with $\ce{O3}$ to give chlorine dioxide radicals.

(2) in the stratosphere, it forms a protective shield against UV radiation.

(3) it is a toxic gas and its reaction with $\ce{NO}$ gives $\ce{NO2}$

(4) in the atmosphere, it is depleted by CFCs.

Ans. (1) in the stratosphere, CFCs release chlorine free radicals (Cl) which reacts with O3 to give chlorine dioxide radicals.

Sol. In presence of sunlight CFC’s molecule divides & release chlorine free radical, which react with ozone give chlorine monoxide radical ( ClO ) and oxygen.  

$\require{mhchem}\ce{CF2Cl2(g)->[UV] Cl(g) + FC2Cl (g) }$

$\ce{Cl(g) + O3(g) -> ClO(g) + O2(g)}$

$\ce{ClO(g) + O(g) -> Cl(g) + O2(g)}$

option 1 is wrong 

as during reaction ClO* and Cl* is formed not ClO2
