Perfluoroalkanes

Absorption band

In quantum mechanics, an absorption band is a range of wavelengths, frequencies or energies in the electromagnetic spectrum that are characteristic of a particular transition from initial to final state in a substance.

See Hexafluoroethane and Absorption band

Asphyxia

Asphyxia or asphyxiation is a condition of deficient supply of oxygen to the body which arises from abnormal breathing.

See Hexafluoroethane and Asphyxia

Carbon tetrafluoride

Tetrafluoromethane, also known as carbon tetrafluoride or R-14, is the simplest perfluorocarbon (CF4). Hexafluoroethane and carbon tetrafluoride are greenhouse gases, Perfluoroalkanes and refrigerants.

Crystal polymorphism

In crystallography, polymorphism is the phenomenon where a compound or element can crystallize into more than one crystal structure.

See Hexafluoroethane and Crystal polymorphism

Cubic crystal system

In crystallography, the cubic (or isometric) crystal system is a crystal system where the unit cell is in the shape of a cube.

See Hexafluoroethane and Cubic crystal system

Etching (microfabrication)

Etching is used in microfabrication to chemically remove layers from the surface of a wafer during manufacturing.

See Hexafluoroethane and Etching (microfabrication)

Ethane

Ethane is a naturally occurring organic chemical compound with chemical formula. Hexafluoroethane and Ethane are greenhouse gases.

See Hexafluoroethane and Ethane

Exponential decay

A quantity is subject to exponential decay if it decreases at a rate proportional to its current value.

See Hexafluoroethane and Exponential decay

Eye surgery

Eye surgery, also known as ophthalmic surgery or ocular surgery, is surgery performed on the eye or its adnexa.

Fluorocarbon

Fluorocarbons are chemical compounds with carbon-fluorine bonds. Hexafluoroethane and Fluorocarbon are greenhouse gases.

See Hexafluoroethane and Fluorocarbon

Fluoroform

Fluoroform, or trifluoromethane, is the chemical compound with the formula. Hexafluoroethane and Fluoroform are greenhouse gases and refrigerants.

See Hexafluoroethane and Fluoroform

Global warming potential

Global warming potential (GWP) is an index to measure how much infrared thermal radiation a greenhouse gas would absorb over a given time frame after it has been added to the atmosphere (or emitted to the atmosphere).

See Hexafluoroethane and Global warming potential

Greenhouse gas

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are the gases in the atmosphere that raise the surface temperature of planets such as the Earth. Hexafluoroethane and Greenhouse gas are greenhouse gases.

See Hexafluoroethane and Greenhouse gas

Hall–Héroult process

The Hall–Héroult process is the major industrial process for smelting aluminium.

Hexachloroethane

Hexachloroethane (perchloroethane) is an organochlorine compound with the chemical formula.

See Hexafluoroethane and Hexachloroethane

Hydrocarbon

In organic chemistry, a hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon.

See Hexafluoroethane and Hydrocarbon

Methanol

Methanol (also called methyl alcohol and wood spirit, amongst other names) is an organic chemical compound and the simplest aliphatic alcohol, with the chemical formula (a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, often abbreviated as MeOH).

See Hexafluoroethane and Methanol

Octafluoropropane

Octafluoropropane (C3F8) is the perfluorocarbon counterpart to the hydrocarbon propane. Hexafluoroethane and Octafluoropropane are greenhouse gases, Perfluoroalkanes and refrigerants.

See Hexafluoroethane and Octafluoropropane

Ozone depletion potential

The ozone depletion potential (ODP) of a chemical compound is the relative amount of degradation to the ozone layer it can cause, with trichlorofluoromethane (R-11 or CFC-11) being fixed at an ODP of 1.0.

Parts-per notation

In science and engineering, the parts-per notation is a set of pseudo-units to describe small values of miscellaneous dimensionless quantities, e.g. mole fraction or mass fraction.

See Hexafluoroethane and Parts-per notation

Phase (matter)

In the physical sciences, a phase is a region of material that is chemically uniform, physically distinct, and (often) mechanically separable.

See Hexafluoroethane and Phase (matter)

Phase transition

In physics, chemistry, and other related fields like biology, a phase transition (or phase change) is the physical process of transition between one state of a medium and another.

See Hexafluoroethane and Phase transition

Radiative forcing

Radiative forcing (or climate forcing) is a concept used in climate science to quantify the change in energy balance in Earth's atmosphere.

See Hexafluoroethane and Radiative forcing

Refrigerant

A refrigerant is a working fluid used in the refrigeration cycle of air conditioning systems and heat pumps where in most cases they undergo a repeated phase transition from a liquid to a gas and back again. Hexafluoroethane and refrigerant are refrigerants.
