    1.
    Carbon halides and oxyhalides

    Carbon halides mainly include CF 4 (colorless liquid gas), CCl 4 (colorless liquid), CBr 4 (light yellow solid), CI 4 (red solid), and the most important one is carbon tetrachloride CCl 4
    .


    The stability of carbon tetrahalides decreases as the halogen radius increases


    CF 4 has high thermal stability and chemical inertness
    .


    It can be used for water repellency and dyeing resistance of paper, fabric and fiber after being combined with other groups


    CCl 4 is an important non-protic, non-polar, non-aqueous solvent
    .


    It can be obtained by the reaction of CH 4 and Cl 2 at 440°C


    CH 4 +4Cl 2 =CCl 4 +4HCl

    CCl 4 has a low boiling point (76.
    8°C), is toxic, and is easily volatilized.
    It can isolate combustibles from air but does not react with oxygen.
    Therefore, CCl 4 can be used as a fire extinguishing agent and flame retardant
    .


    CCl 4 is an important chlorination reagent


    COCl 2 is a colorless gas, which is rapidly hydrolyzed in water to generate CO 2 and HF
    .


    The main purpose of COF 2 is to prepare fluorine-containing organic compounds


    COCl 2 is a colorless gas and highly toxic
    .


    Initially synthesized by CO and Cl 2 under light, it is called phosgene


    2.
    Carbon sulfide

    The most important are carbon sulfide disulfide the CS 2 , mucus can be used to produce wire and carbon tetrachloride
    .


    Other sulfides of carbon have poor stability, such as CS (colorless gas) and C 3 S 2 (red liquid, decomposed at 90°C)


    CS 2 is a colorless liquid, an aprotic, non-polar, non-aqueous solvent
    .


    CS 2 can be prepared by passing sulfur vapor through red hot charcoal or by reacting natural gas with sulfur vapor at high temperature


    CS2 has a low boiling point (46.
    25°C), is volatile, highly toxic, and can cause serious damage to the human nervous system and brain
    .
    Pure CS2 has a pleasant fragrance
    .
    CS2 has reducibility, can reduce MnO4-, and spontaneously ignite at 100°C
    .

    The CS 2 is acidic sulfide, with K 2 Reaction S alkaline substance
    .

    CS 2 +K 2 S=K 2 CS 3 (potassium thiocarbonate)
