where can you find info on tetraflouroethane other than google?

Question

I have a report on tetraflouroethane and i have to find the atomic
number, atomic weight, its symbol, valence number, electron orbit, and which famliy it belongs two

Answer 1

tetrafluoroethane is a molecule. it won't be found on the periodic table. no atomic number no symbol, none of that...

note the spelling? fluoro not flouro. that may be some of your troubles...

look HERE....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrafluoroethane
you will find molecular weight etc

note that it's also called R-134a. R134a is refrigerant used in air conditioners as a replacement for freon. That's a very very important use for tetrafluoroethane

look up r134a and freon as well....

Answer 2

Tetrafllouroethane is a compound, not an element, so it doesn't have an atomic number, valence number, electron orbit, and family. (Only individual elements have those).

Tetrafluoroethane is composed of two carbon atoms, 2 hydrogen atoms, and 4 fluorine atoms.These atoms can be arranged in two different ways giving two constitutional isomers:

1,1,1, 2- tetrafluoroethane
1, 1, 2, 2-tetrafluoroethane

Look it up on chemfinder.

Answer 3

The Merck Handbook, available at any library. Your chemistry teacher should also have one.

For what it's worth, tetraflouroethane doesn't have an atomic number or family. It's a compound, not an element.
