bromochlorofluoroiodomethane

== English == === Etymology === From bromo- +‎ chloro- +‎ fluoro- +‎ iodo- +‎ methane. === Noun === bromochlorofluoroiodomethane (uncountable) (organic chemistry) A theoretical organic molecule made of one carbon atom bonded to four different halogens: bromine, chlorine, fluorine, and iodine (CBrClFI2). Because all four attached atoms are different, the molecule is chiral, meaning it has two mirror-image forms. It is mainly used as an example in stereochemistry and chirality studies.
