Brief description of each:

CCl4 = Carbon Tetrachloride: It is a clear liquid with a sweet smell that can be detected at
low levels, it is found in the air as a colorless gas. It isn’t flammable and it also was used in
the production of refrigeration fluid and propellants for aerosol cans, as a pesticide, as a
cleaning fluid and degreasing agent, in fire extinguishers, and in spot removers. Because of
its harmful effects, these uses are now banned and it is only used in some industrial
applications.

NO = Nitrogen Monoxide: It is a colourless toxic gas, performs important chemical

signaling functions in humans and other animals and has various applications in medicine. It
has few industrial applications. It is a serious air pollutant generated by automotive engines
and thermal power plants.

NO2 = Nitrogen Dioxide: Accelerates the burning of combustible materials. It is a highly

poisonous gas. Exposure produces inflammation of lungs that may only cause slight pain or
pass unnoticed, but days later may cause death. It is said to be a major atmospheric
pollutant that is able to absorb UV light that does not reach the earth's surface.

NO3 = Nitrogen Trioxide: It’s a liquid which is readily ignited when in contact with organic
materials. It is noncombustible but will accelerate the burning of combustible materials. It is

reactive and is formed by loss of a proton from nitric acid.

N2O3 = Dinitrogen Trioxide: It is said to have an unpleasant chemical odor and it appears
as a blue liquid with a sharp. Strong irritant to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Vapors
are very toxic by inhalation. Used in special purpose fuels. Under prolonged exposure to
intense heat the container may rupture violently and rocket.

N2O5 = Dinitrogen Pentoxide: It is an unstable and mildly explosive chemical of no current

commercial value. It reacts with water and is used in solvents that are not based on water, so
that molecules that are very sensitive to water can be easily nitrated. Also is used to denote the
light intensities transmitted when the cell was occupied by the decomposing.

CO = Carbon Oxide: is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, flammable gas that is slightly less
dense than air. Carbon monoxide consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom.

CO2 = Carbon Dioxide: A colourless, odourless gas under normal conditions, it is produced
during respiration by all animals, fungi and microorganisms that depend directly or indirectly
on living or decaying plants for food.

SO2 = Sulfur Dioxide: Is sometimes used as a preservative in alcoholic drinks, or dried

apricots and other dried fruits due to its antimicrobial properties.
The preservative is used to maintain the appearance of the fruit rather than prevent rotting.
P2O3 = Diphosphorus Trioxide: appears as white crystalline solid or a liquid (melting point
24°C). Density 2.14 g / cm3. Toxic and corrosive. May severely irritate skin and eyes. Used
to make other chemicals.

SF6 = Sulfur Hexafluoride: It appears as a colorless odorless gas. Noncombustible.

Shipped as a liquefied gas under its own vapor pressure. Contact may cause frostbite.
Under prolonged exposure to fire or heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket.
