Description
A compound containing carbons with one or more halogens attached. Hydrogens are located at any remaining bonding sites on the carbons. Monomeric halocarbons, such as Freon, are used as refrigerants, propellants and fire-extinguishing agents. Polymerized halocarbon resins, such as Teflon, are stable and have high chemical resistance.
