The effects of ionizing radiation on the atmosphere include the following correct answers:
1. **It forms ozone in the stratosphere** - Ionizing radiation can lead to the formation of ozone from oxygen molecules through a photochemical reaction, particularly in the stratosphere.
2. **It ionizes atoms and molecules in the thermosphere** - Ionizing radiation can cause atoms and molecules in the thermosphere to become ionized, which is a characteristic of that layer of the atmosphere.
The other options related to helping atoms escape Earth's gravity and being the chief cause of warming in the troposphere are not accurate in the context of ionizing radiation's effects on the atmosphere.
