Question

The $\mathrm{C}$ at the end of $\mathrm{CFC}$ (refrigerant) stands for ___________.

Answer 1

Chlorofluorocarbons:

• $\mathrm{CFCs}$ stands for Chlorofluorocarbons and found in refrigerants and aerosols.
• $\mathrm{CFCs}$ basically contains Carbon $\left(\mathrm{C}\right)$, Fluorine $\left(\mathrm{F}\right)$ and Chlorine $\left(\mathrm{Cl}\right)$.
• When $\mathrm{CFC}$ is added to the atmosphere, it starts damaging the Ozone layer by reacting with Ozone molecules.
• As a result, damaging UV radiation infiltrates the Earth's atmosphere, causing a variety of health problems, acid rain, and a poisonous environment.
  This is the reason why it was recently banned under the Montreal Protocol.
