Fluorocarbons with few C–F bonds behave similarly to the parent hydrocarbons, but their reactivity can be altered significantly.For example, both uracil and 5-fluorouracil are colourless, high-melting crystalline solids, but the latter is a potent anti-cancer drug.
Atmospheric concentration of SF 6, NF 3, and several widely used HFCs and PFCs between years 1978 and 2015 (right graph).Note the logarithmic scale. The most common F-gases are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which contain hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are fully or partly halogenated hydrocarbons that contain carbon (C), hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), and fluorine (F), produced as volatile derivatives of methane, ethane, and propane.
In the United States, HFCS is among the sweeteners that have mostly replaced sucrose (table sugar) in the food industry. [7] [8] Factors contributing to the increased use of HFCS in food manufacturing include production quotas of domestic sugar, import tariffs on foreign sugar, and subsidies of U.S. corn, raising the price of sucrose and reducing that of HFCS, creating a manufacturing-cost ...
Chemical structure of 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze). Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) are unsaturated organic compounds composed of hydrogen, fluorine and carbon.These organofluorine compounds are of interest as refrigerants.

The word pesticide derives from the Latin pestis (plague) and caedere (kill). [5]The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has defined pesticide as: . any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, or controlling any pest, including vectors of human or animal disease, unwanted species of plants or animals, causing harm during or otherwise interfering with the ...
