  2. Hydrofluorocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluorocarbon

    Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are synthetic organic compounds that contain fluorine and hydrogen atoms, and are the most common type of organofluorine compounds. Most are gases at room temperature and pressure.

  3. Fluorine compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine_compounds

    The covalent radius of fluorine of about 71 picometers found in F 2 molecules is significantly larger than that in other compounds because of this weak bonding between the two fluorine atoms. [9] This is a result of the relatively large electron and internuclear repulsions, combined with a relatively small overlap of bonding orbitals arising ...

  4. Hydrogen fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_fluoride

    HF is a reactive solvent in the electrochemical fluorination of organic compounds. In this approach, HF is oxidized in the presence of a hydrocarbon and the fluorine replaces C–H bonds with C–F bonds. Perfluorinated carboxylic acids and sulfonic acids are produced in this way. [15]

  5. Fluorine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine

    Elemental fluorine and virtually all fluorine compounds are produced from hydrogen fluoride or its aqueous solution, hydrofluoric acid. Hydrogen fluoride is produced in kilns by the endothermic reaction of fluorite (CaF 2) with sulfuric acid: [169] CaF 2 + H 2 SO 4 → 2 HF(g) + CaSO 4. The gaseous HF can then be absorbed in water or liquefied ...

  6. Fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride

    The tea plant (Camellia sinensis L.) is a known accumulator of fluorine compounds, released upon forming infusions such as the common beverage. The fluorine compounds decompose into products including fluoride ions. Fluoride is the most bioavailable form of fluorine, and as such, tea is potentially a vehicle for fluoride dosing. [29]

  7. Fluorinated gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorinated_gases

    The most common F-gases are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which contain hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon. They are used in a multitude of applications including commercial refrigeration, industrial refrigeration, air-conditioning systems, heat pump equipment, and as blowing agents for foams, fire extinguishants, aerosol propellants, and solvents.

  8. Fluorocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorocarbon

    Perfluoroalkanes are very stable because of the strength of the carbon–fluorine bond, one of the strongest in organic chemistry. [4] Its strength is a result of the electronegativity of fluorine imparting partial ionic character through partial charges on the carbon and fluorine atoms, which shorten and strengthen the bond (compared to carbon-hydrogen bonds) through favorable covalent ...

  9. Organofluorine chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organofluorine_chemistry

    Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), organic compounds that contain fluorine and hydrogen atoms, are the most common type of organofluorine compounds. They are commonly used in air conditioning and as refrigerants [5] in place of the older chlorofluorocarbons such as R-12 and hydrochlorofluorocarbons such as R-21.
