The common name for dichlorodifluoromethane is Freon-12.
CCl2 does exist as a reactive intermediate (but fleetingly and not stable) and is known as Dichlorocarbene. It is available in singlet and triplet format. However, CCl4 is stable and is known as tetrachloromethane or carbon tetrochloride.
Dichlorodifluoromethane has 3 different elements: carbon, chlorine, and fluorine.
CF2Cl2
The name of CF2Cl2 is dichlorodifluoromethane.
C2Cl6 (dichlorodifluoromethane) is a nonpolar molecule due to its symmetrical tetrahedral shape and the equal sharing of electrons between carbon and chlorine atoms. This results in no overall dipole moment, making it nonpolar.
The chemical equation for the ozone depletion by dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12) can be described as: CF2Cl2 + UV light → CF2Cl· + Cl· Cl· + O3 → ClO· + O2 ClO· + O· → Cl· + O2 Overall: O3 + O· → 2O2
Dichlorodifluoromethane ("Freon") has a boiling point of -21.6o F (-29.8o C).
A common name for CF2Cl2 is dichlorodifluoromethane, which is also commonly known as CFC-12.
Well, honey, CCl2F2, also known as CFC-12, is a polar molecule. The reason being is that even though the individual C-Cl and C-F bonds are polar due to differences in electronegativity, the overall molecular geometry of tetrahedral shape results in a net dipole moment, making it a polar molecule. Hope that clears things up for you, darling.
