carbon and chlorine atoms bond to form chlorocarbons. The exact naming of a molecule depends upon the number of carbon and chlorine atoms involved. The simplest is called tetrachloromethane. This is made up of one carbon and 4 chlorine atoms.

On another note, if we bond chlorine and fluorine atoms to a carbon then we form chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) it is these molecule that are raved about so much with regard to greenhouse gases and ozone destruction.
