What characteristic(s) of CFCs make them more likely to reach the stratosphere than most other compounds containing chlorine?
CFC's are heavier than air and contain chlorine thus they would be part of the group of chemicals in question. In theory most items heavier than air should not be able to reach high altitudes, although very small amounts of this gas have been found in the stratosphere.CFCs are attracted to ultraviolet radiationthey are very stableWhich refrigerant is a chlorine-free refrigerant

Yes, if CFC's should ever leak in a closed environment, you are told to stay as high as you can to stay in the oxygen zone. The CFC's will sink to the floor.
Is argon heavier than air?
argon is a component of "air" and as such air cannot be lighter than air, only more or less dense, however, judging from atomic masses, yes argon is heavier than nitrogen, oxygen, helium, and hydrogen, but depending on pollutants and other gases (CFC's, HCFC's, etc.) the compound that is air can vary slightly in mass.
Are solvents heavier than air?
Yes solvents are heavier than air
