B) overlap photochemical reactions in this layer separate protons from neutrons,thereby creating charged particles
C) do not overlap only the outermost layer of the atmosphere-the ionosphere-receives enough energy for ionization to occur
D) do not overlap only the outermost layer of the atmosphere-the ionosphere-receives enough energy for photochemical reactions to occur
