CCl3F- Trichloromonofluoromethane
CCl3F is a colorless and odorless liquid. It's molar mass is 137.7g/mol. It is commonly used as:
SolventRefrigerant
- Aerosol Propellant
- Blowing Agent (Plastic Materials)
- Fire Extinguishers
It's many uses provide for a very useful substance. Although scientists have classified the substance as an ozone depleter and greenhouse gas depleter, the substance is still very useful. This product has the power of dissolving into other liquids. As a refrigerant, the liquid has the power of vaporizing at a low temperature or cooling. This is commonly used for the cooling of medication. As an aerosol propellant, the liquid can create a mist out of a can. The liquid can also be used as a blowing agent which allows plastic materials to be shaped. Fire extinguishers use this to put out fires. This product proves to be very useful in the modern society. It helps to extinguish fires, mend plastic, make aerosol, cooling agent, and can dissolve in other substances.
This substance is a polar substance. This means that it can be attracted to other substances through London Dispersion and Dipole Dipole. London Dispersion is a force which can attract all substances, even by a very weak atracttion. Due to the changing clusters of electrons, it is possible that a molecule can be attracted to any other molecule. Dipole Dipole attracts molecules together due to the static electricity that takes place between molecules. This attracts the positive sides to the negative sides and vise versa. The bonds in this molecule are moderately covalent and barely covalent. Bonding C to Cl gives a moderately covalent bond. Bonding C to F gives a barely covalent bond.
