The Elements
Chlorine
Fluorine
Carbon
carbon, fluorine, hydrogen
CFC's or chlorofluorocarbons contain chlorine or fluorine. These elements start a chain reaction in the ozone layer to react with them and decompose them into oxygen.
Refrigerants contain CFC's. These CFcs are the chemicals that react with ozone and destroy it.
CFC's (chlorofluorocarbon's)
Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is an organic compound that contains carbon, chlorine, and fluorine, produced as a volatile derivative of methane and ethane. They were commonly used as refrigerants, and for propellants for aerosol sprays, though they have been mostly phased out due to the fact that they cause ozone depletion.
CFC is an abbreviation for the class of chemical compounds known as Chloro-Fluoro-Carbons.
CFC'S
Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) emissions are still increasing.
CFC's or chlorofluorocarbons contain chlorine or fluorine. These elements start a chain reaction in the ozone layer to react with them and decompose them into oxygen.
ChloroFluoroCarbon is the full form of CFC.
Refrigerants contain CFC's. These CFcs are the chemicals that react with ozone and destroy it.
Also known as CFC's, you can find them mostly in aerosol spray canisters. Uses include refrigerants, blowing agents, propellants in medicinal applications, and degreasing solvents.
Chloroflourocarbons were first created in 1928 as non-toxic, non-flamable refrigerants, and were first produced commercially in the 1930's by DuPont. The first Chlorofluorocarbon was CFC-12, a single carbon with two chlorines and two Fluorines attached to it.
It is short for Chlorofluorocarbon. It is an organic compound that contains only carbon, chlorine, and fluorine produced as a volatile derivative of methane, ethane, and propane. Many CFCs have been used as refrigerants, propellants, and solvents. The manufacture of such compounds has been phased out under the Montreal protocol because CFCs contribute to ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere.
Chlorofluorocarbon smells like Freon
