Hydrogen vs Hydrochlorofluorocarbon - What's the difference?

hydrogen | hydrochlorofluorocarbon |

As nouns the difference between hydrogen and hydrochlorofluorocarbon

is that hydrogen is the lightest chemical element (symbol h) with an atomic number of 1 and atomic weight of 100794 while hydrochlorofluorocarbon is (chemistry) a chlorofluorocarbon with the addition of hydrogen, making it less stable and more liable to break down before reaching the ozone layer.
