Bookmark or Share- Fluorine | Uses, Properties, & Facts | Britannicafluorine (F), most reactive chemical element and the lightest member of the halogen elements, or Group 17 (Group VIIa) of the periodic table. Its chemical activity can be attributed to its extreme ability to attract electrons (it is the most electronegative element) and to the small size of its atoms.
- Fluorine - WikipediaFluorine is a chemical element; it has symbol F and atomic number 9. It is the lightest halogen and exists at standard conditions as a highly toxic, pale yellow diatomic gas. Fluorine is extremely reactive, as it reacts with all other elements except for the light inert gases.
- Fluorine Facts - Atomic Number 9 or F - ThoughtCoFluorine is a corrosive pale yellow gas. It is highly reactive, participating in reactions with virtually all organic and inorganic substances. Fluorine is the most electronegative element. Metals, glass, ceramics, carbon, and water will burn with a bright flame in fluorine.
- Fluorine - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic TableThe most common fluorine minerals are fluorite, fluorspar and cryolite, but it is also rather widely distributed in other minerals. It is the 13th most common element in the Earth’s crust. Fluorine is made by the electrolysis of a solution of potassium hydrogendifluoride (KHF2) in anhydrous hydrofluoric acid.
- Facts About Fluorine | Live ScienceFluorine is a vital element in the nuclear energy industry, according to the Royal Society. It is used to make uranium hexafluoride, which is needed to separate uranium isotopes.
