Abstract

In order to increase student understanding of the seemingly confusing behavior of chemical substances involved in environmental chemistry, an analogy between chemical and human behavior is presented. The analogy focuses on how the same individual can behave differently due to his/her social surroundings. In much the same way the varied behaviors of substances such as CFCs and ozone depend on their surroundings (tropospheric or stratospheric). This occurs even though the inherent properties of the substance do not undergo any changes.
