Tetrafluoromethane molecule, illustration - Illustrations

Computer illustration of a molecule of tetrafluoromethane (carbon tetrafluoride), a greenhouse gas. The molecule comprises one carbon (black) and four fluorine (green) atoms. Tetrafluoromethane is an extremely stable and potent greenhouse gas that can last up to 50,000 years in the atmosphere. It is used as a refrigerant and is a bi-product of aluminium smelting.
