Reactive Group Datasheet

CFCs and HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons and chlorofluorohydrocarbons)

What are reactive groups?

Reactive groups are categories of chemicals that typically react in similar ways because they are similar in their chemical structure. Each substance with a chemical datasheet has been assigned to one or more reactive groups, and CAMEO Chemicals uses the reactive group assignments to make its reactivity predictions. More Info...

If you can't find a chemical in the database--but you know what reactive group it belongs in--you can add the reactive group to MyChemicals instead in order to see the reactivity predictions.

There are 58 chemical datasheets assigned to this reactive group.

Description

Flammability

These compounds are generally not flammable; some are combustible, but usually only poorly.

Reactivity

These materials are chemically inert in many situations, but can react violently with strong reducing agents such as the very active metals and the active metals. They suffer oxidation with strong oxidizing agents and under extremes of temperature.

Toxicity

Generally low.

Other Characteristics

In these compounds chlorine and fluorine replaces some hydrogen in a hydrocarbon. The presence of fluorine lowers the reactivity relative to unfluorinated compounds. This category also includes compounds in which bromine replaces some of the chlorine atoms. All compounds are gases under standard conditions.

Examples

1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane, 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2,3,3-pentafluoropropane. 1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane, 1-chloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane, 1,1-dichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane.
