Chlorofluorocarbons are made of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine atoms.
Explanation:
Organic compounds composed of carbon, fluorine, and chlorine are Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are non-toxic, non-flammable chemicals used in the manufacture of aerosol sprays, packing materials, as refrigerants, and as solvents.
When UV light rays strike CFC molecules in the stratosphere this results in the displacement of a chlorine atom. Then chlorine atom destroys the ozone by reacting with an ozone molecule breaking it apart.
SO, chlorofluorocarbons are made of carbon, chlorine and fluorine.
