FLUORINE
chemical symbol= F atomic number=9 atomic mass= 18.998
fluorine is Non- metal The formula of Fluorine is F and being highly reactive it exists as F2.
Physical Fluorine is a pale yellow gas with a density of 1.695 grams per liter Fluorine changes from a gas to a liquid at a temperature of -188.13C (-306.5F) and from a liquid to a solid at
chemical Fluorine is the most reactive element. It combines easily with every other element except helium, neon, and argon because they are noble gases, they tend not to react with anything
Uses - The most common use of fluorine in its elemental form is in rocket fuels. It has a working similar to oxygen and also helps the other matters in rocket fuel to burn. -The other uses of elemental fluorine are in manufacturing and the chemical laboratories. Isotopically fractionated uranium is created with the help of fluorinated compounds, which is an important step in uranium purification in power plants.
-Young children with developing teeth can be made to grow stronger, healthier and resistant to tooth decay by using fluorinated toothpastes. -The most common use of fluorine, that is a part of everyone's life, is as a common ingredient in toothpastes. Fluoride is used to prevent tooth decay and thus added to toothpastes and mouth washes.
Abundance The abundance of fluorine is found to vary by more than a factor of 6, with the19F variations being correlated with the already established oxygen variations and anticorrelated with the sodium and aluminium variations. --According to one recent suggestion by astrophysicists, the relative abundance of fluorine in interstellar space may be linked to processes initiated by supernova explosions.
FACTS 1) Fluorine is defined as a pale-yellow, and most reac 2The word Fluorine came from the Latin word 'fluo' meaning flow. 3)Fluorine was discovered by Joseph Henri Moissan in 1886. 4)It can go in to your body and dissolve your bones. 5)Used to make toothpaste and rocket fuel
