Yes, fluorocarbons are still very stable, and capable of being substituted for the less expensive ozone-depleting compounds. CFCs were created because they did not promote burning, and they were not terribly expensive. So in order to avoid them, we have to mine and produce more fluorine to make these other compounds.

Alternative chemicals that can replace ozone depleting substances include hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and natural refrigerants like ammonia, hydrocarbons, and carbon dioxide. These substances have lower ozone depletion potential (ODP) and global warming potential (GWP), making them more environmentally friendly options for various applications such as refrigeration, air conditioning, and insulation.

What has the world done to help reduce ozone depletion?
The world has taken measures to reduce ozone depletion by implementing the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty that phased out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Countries have also adopted alternative technologies and substances to replace those that harm the ozone layer, leading to a gradual recovery of the ozone layer. Public awareness campaigns and regulations have also helped to reduce emissions of ozone-depleting substances.
How would you use the periodic table to replace one of the elements in a new substance with another element that has similar chemical properties?
You would see which group the element was in and then replace it with another element from the same group, as all elements in a group have similar properties. For example you could replace Sodium with Potassium as they are both in Group 1.
What can one use CFL lamps for?
CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamp, and they are an energy-efficient alternative to incandescent bulbs. CFL lamps can be used to replace these bulbs, and they can be placed both indoors and outdoors.

Why did they change to r410a refrigerant?
R410A refrigerant was introduced to replace R22, as R22 is ozone-depleting and harmful to the environment. R410A is a more environmentally friendly alternative with zero ozone depletion potential.
