Fluoroethane
Fluoroethane (also known as ethyl fluoride) is a hydrofluorocarbon with the chemical formula C2H5F). It is a volatile derivative of ethane. It appears as a colourless, odorless flammable gas at room temperature.[3] Fluoroethane can also cause asphyxiation by the displacement of oxygen in air.[4]

Reactivity
Fluoroethane is incompatible with most strong reducing agents and oxidizers. Also, may be incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, with alkali metals, and with epoxides.[5] It is part of the wider class of substances known as fluorinated organic compounds.[6]
