The refrigerants referred to as CFC's are considered to be what?
⢠Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and what the letters in the name actually stand for ⢠Difference between hydrogenated and halogenated compounds in basic chemistry ⢠How replacing hydrogen atoms with halogen atoms (like chlorine and fluorine) changes a molecule
⢠Look at the full name of CFCs and match each part (chloro, fluoro, carbon) to what type of atoms are present or absent ⢠Ask yourself: if a compound is "hydrogenated," what element must be present in significant amount? Do CFCs emphasize hydrogen or other elements? ⢠Consider what happens when hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon are replaced by halogens such as chlorine and fluorineâdoes that make the compound partially or completely halogenated?
⢠Verify what the letters C, F, and C stand for in the term CFC ⢠Check whether CFCs are known for containing hydrogen or for containing chlorine and fluorine instead ⢠Confirm whether the definition of fully vs. partially halogenated refers to how many hydrogen atoms have been replaced by halogen atoms
