Video transcript

Hi everyone here, we have a question asking us, CFC and BFC are greenhouse gasses that contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer. How do these two species differ? So CFCs our chlorofluorocarbons. They contain Carmen, two chlorine bonds and carbon to flooring bonds, B. F. C. S. Our bromo floral carbons. They contain carbon tube roaming bonds and carbon to flooring bonds. So our difference here is that CFCs have carbon to corinne while B f. C. S have carbon tube roaming. And that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
