Ammonia is a molecule composed of the elements nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H). The formula is NH3.
Freon has nothing to do with ammonia from the standpoint of composition. It is in fact not a molecule, but a commercial name for a class of molecules. They are generally known a CFC or chlorofluorocarbons, and contain the elements carbon (C), chlorine (Cl), fluorine (F), and hydrogen(H) in varying proportions.

What else can I help you with?
Does freon smell like ammonia?
No, freon does not smell like ammonia. Freon, a type of refrigerant, typically has a faint, sweet odor. Ammonia, on the other hand, has a strong, pungent odor often associated with cleaning products.
How does a refrigerator run with ammonia gas?
Ammonia works exactly the same way that freon does, in a refrigerator. Both of these are substances which have a boiling point in the right temperature range to allow them to carry away heat from the interior of a refrigerator, and move it to exterior heat exchange coils. The main difference is that ammonia leaks are much more unpleasant than freon leaks, in terms of odor and toxicity, while freon leaks are a greater threat to the ozone layer.
How much per pound for freon?
The price of Freon can vary depending on the type and quantity you need. On average, expect to pay between $6 to $10 per pound for Freon. However, prices can fluctuate based on market demand and location.
Is freon a covalent bond?
Freon is not a covalent bond. Freon is a type of refrigerant gas, specifically a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) or hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), which are composed of covalent bonds between carbon, hydrogen, fluorine, and sometimes chlorine atoms. A covalent bond is a specific type of chemical bond between two non-metal atoms where they share electrons.
Is Freon a more covalently bonded or ionically bonded?
Freon is more covalently bonded. It consists of covalent bonds between the carbon, fluorine, and chlorine atoms in its structure.
Does freon smell like ammonia?
No, freon does not smell like ammonia. Freon, a type of refrigerant, typically has a faint, sweet odor. Ammonia, on the other hand, has a strong, pungent odor often associated with cleaning products.
What is the difference between f22 and r22 freon?
The name.
Where can you get freon for your RV refrigerator?
RV refrigerators do not use freon but rather ammonia. The ammonia is in a sealed unit called the cooling unit and you cannot add ammonia to this unit. If it goes bad it has to be replaced.
What is the difference between R134 and R134a Freon?
Same thing

Is there a difference between r-12 and r 134a freon oil?
There is very little difference in performance between R-12 and R-143A Freon oil. R-12 oil is more damaging to the environment while R-134A is less harmful.
What is the difference between opened and closed system of air conditioning?
A closed system would be full of freon without any leaks and a opened system would have no freon or has leaks...........
What is the Difference between an air compressor and fridge compressors?
Not much. Both compress gas: the one "air", t'other some freon-based gas.
What type of refrigerant do air conditioners use and how toxic is it?
The types are: ammonia, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons like methane, methyl chloride, and methylene chloride, the freon and genetron and the water. The ammonia is the worst because can kill you, is the most toxic, the sulfur dioxide is corrosive and can injure plants but not to you, only is you breath it for a time, the hydrocarbons are not toxic like freon and genetron, and the water that is other refrigerant but is innocuous.
Do heating and cooling chillers use freon?
"Freon" is a trademark name of the the DuPont Corporation for a series of CFC and HFC refrigerants manufactured and marketed by them - thus, it's only actually Freon if it's manufactured by them and marketed by that name. They all use some form of refrigerant, but not all of them use CFC or HFC refrigerants. There are refrigeration units which use straight ammonia, for example.
What kind of freon is used in a refrigerator?
It's only Freon if it was manufactured by DuPont and sold under the name Freon - it's a trademark of theirs. Pure ammonia is still used in some industrial refrigerators. From the mid-1930s to the mid-1990s, R12 (CFC12) was used. Afterwards, R134a (HFC134a) was used in home refrigerators. Some newer units now use R600.
My BMW 318i is blowing warm air when the air con is turned on can anyone tell me whats wrong?
could be elctrical not turning on compreesor could just be out of freon
