Uses and Environment (names)
What is it?
Old solvents and refrigerants (CFCs) named as ozone history (air chapter). Modern haloalkanes still appear as named reagents in school. PVC monomer chloroethene named. Meaning: useful and also persistent / ozone / toxicity slogans. These notes do not teach how to make restricted refrigerants or solvents for abuse. CFCs, solvents, anaesthetics historically — Montreal Protocol for ozone link. Classify the halogen-bearing carbon as 1, 2, or 3 before choosing SN1, SN2, or elimination.
In simple words
- Old solvents and refrigerants (CFCs) named as ozone history (air chapter).
- 1. NAMED: PVC.
- 2. HARM SLOGANS: Ozone.
- Exam reminder: Exam CFC link: old haloalkane refrigerants named CFCs harm stratospheric ozone (air chapter) banned uses, not a method to make them
Important terms
USES AND ENVIRONMENT (NAMES): Old solvents and refrigerants (CFCs) named as ozone history (air chapter).
1. NAMED: PVC.
2. HARM SLOGANS: Ozone.
What you should learn
- Explain uses and environment (names) in simple chemical language.
- Connect 1. named with 2. harm slogans using equations, observations, or trends where needed.
- Answer a short Federal Board question with the correct terms and a clear reason.
Examples
- Chloroethene
- CFC history
- Not a recipe
NAMED
PVC. PTFE earlier. Anaesthetics history names if the book has them (history, not a dose). Fire-extinguisher old halons named as banned ozone story. DDT and persistent organohalogen harm named — environmental chemistry label.
HARM SLOGANS
Ozone. Persistence. Some toxic vapours — ventilation slogan, medical help if inhaled, not a treatment protocol. Recycle PVC slogan. Green chemistry pushes safer alternatives — slogan not synthesis route.
Recommended for Class 11

WHY — Why this topic matters
USES AND ENVIRONMENT (NAMES) is an independent FBISE learning unit because students must use its definitions, conditions, equations, or trends separately in explanations and calculations.
HOW — How it works
NAMED: PVC. PTFE earlier. Anaesthetics history names if the book has them (history, not a dose). Fire-extinguisher old halons named as banned ozone story. DDT and persistent organohalogen harm named — environmental chemistry label. Examples: Chloroethene; CFC history; Not a recipe. HARM SLOGANS: Ozone. Persistence. Some toxic vapours — ventilation slogan, medical help if inhaled, not a treatment protocol. Recycle PVC slogan. Green chemistry pushes safer alternatives — slogan not synthesis route. Examples: Montreal named; Ventilation; No synthesis. Exam CFC link: old haloalkane refrigerants named CFCs harm stratospheric ozone (air chapter) banned uses, not a method to make them

Remember
- polymer names
Examples
- Chloroethene
- CFC history
- Not a recipe
HARM SLOGANS
Ozone. Persistence. Some toxic vapours — ventilation slogan, medical help if inhaled, not a treatment protocol. Recycle PVC slogan. Green chemistry pushes safer alternatives — slogan not synthesis route.
Remember
- air chapter link
Examples
- Montreal named
- Ventilation
- No synthesis
Remember
- named uses + named harms
- not manufacture
- ozone link
- slogans only
- polymer names
- air chapter link
- named uses + named harms
- not manufacture
How the ideas connect
Exam CFC link: old haloalkane refrigerants named CFCs harm stratospheric ozone (air chapter) banned uses, not a method to make them
Deeper understanding
Go beyond memorising Uses and Environment (names). Connect the definition to reasons, relationships, exceptions, and exam wording.
