Halocarbon 14, also known as carbon tetrafluoride or tetraflouromethane (CF₄), is a remarkably stable and long-lived greenhouse gas that demonstrates how atomic structure influences chemical behavior. The molecule consists of a central carbon atom bonded to four fluorine atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement – imagine a three-sided pyramid with a fluorine atom at each corner and one at the top. This highly symmetrical structure, combined with the exceptional strength of carbon-fluorine bonds (among the strongest single bonds in organic chemistry), makes CF₄ extremely inert and resistant to decomposition.
