* General Formula: C_xCl_yF_zH_n
* "x" represents the number of carbon atoms.
* "y" represents the number of chlorine atoms.
* "z" represents the number of fluorine atoms.
* "n" represents the number of hydrogen atoms (optional).
Examples of CFCs:
* CFC-11: CCl₃F (Trichlorofluoromethane)
* CFC-12: CCl₂F₂ (Dichlorodifluoromethane)
* CFC-13: CClF₃ (Chlorotrifluoromethane)
* CFC-113: C₂Cl₃F₃ (1,1,2-Trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane)
Key Points:
* No hydrogen atoms: CFCs typically have no hydrogen atoms.
* Chlorine and Fluorine: The key characteristic is the presence of chlorine and fluorine.
* Variety of Structures: There are many different combinations of these elements, leading to a variety of CFC structures.
