Tetrafluoride

A tetrafluoride is a chemical compound with four fluorines in its formula.

Usage examples of "tetrafluoride".

This reaction could only take place on a planet receiving lots of ultra-violet because so much energy is needed to break up carbon tetrafluoride and hydrofluoric acid.

We heated, in a crucible, the tetrafluoride with these other compounds.

When Sax had been made head of the terraforming project in 2042, he had immediately initiated the construction of factories to produce and release into the atmosphere a special greenhouse gas mix, composed mostly of carbon tetrafluoride, hexafluoroethane, and sulphur hexafluoride, along with some methane and nitrous oxide.

So the plan called for production and release of tons of carbon tetrafluoride, hexafluoroethane, sulfur hex-afluoride, methane, nitrous oxide, and trace elements of other chemicals which helped to decrease the rate at which UV radiation destroyed these halocarbons.

Planetary atmospheres consisting largely or entirely of neon, methane, ammonia, chlorine - even silicon tetrafluoride - have been recorded.
