HBFCs are a group of simple man-made chemicals that contain the elements hydrogen, fluorine and bromine. They are chemicals that damage the stratospheric ozone layer that protects earth from high levels of ultra violet radiation. They are used as solvents, degreasing agents, fire extinguishing agents and refrigerants.

Why Is Petrol Called Hydrocarbon?
Hydrocarbon is a carbon dioxide but is also call hydrocarbon
Is H3C-C-CH2-CH3 A hydrocarbon or a functionalized hydrocarbon?
functionalized hydrocarbon
Why is methanol a hydrocarbon?
because methane is a hydrocarbon!
Does c6h14 have a double bond?
No, when it is a cyclo-hydrocarbon, Yes when it is an unsaturated hydrocarbon (decene)
How is a substituted hydrocarbon created from a hydrocarbon chain?
A substituted hydrocarbon created from a hydrocarbon chain is by replacing at least one hydrogen atom with an atom of another element.
What has the author Colan Leslie Andrews written?
Colan Leslie Andrews has written: 'The synthesis of some novel fluorinated heterocyclic compounds from fluorinated olefinic precursors'
What for benzotrifluoride used?
a very good cleaning solvent can be made from a blend of benzotrifluoride and a fluorinated compound. This blend will actually clean better than the fluorinated compound by itself. Surprisingly, although benzotrifluoride is a flammable solvent, we have found that it can be made non-flammable with the addition of only a small amount of the fluorinated compound.
What are chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons containing chlorine atoms are called chlorinated hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons containing fluorine atoms are called fluorinated hydrocarbons. eg> CHCl3, CHF3 etc
Is H3C--CH3 a functionalized hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon?
hydrocarbon

functionalized hydrocarbon
Is c6h6 a hydrocarbon?
C6H6 is this a hydrocarbon

Is hydrocarbon a secondary pollutant?
No. Hydrocarbon is a Primary pollutant.
Is rubbing alcohol a hydrocarbon?
No it is not due to having oxygen in it and the OH group. So ethanol is not a hydrocarbon.
