Halocarbon is a broad term that includes compounds containing carbon and halogen atoms (like fluorine, chlorine, or bromine). Fluorocarbon specifically refers to halocarbons that contain fluorine atoms. Therefore, all fluorocarbons are halocarbons, but not all halocarbons are fluorocarbons. In the context of refrigerants, both halocarbons and fluorocarbons are used, with specific types like CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs falling under these categories.
