-Beware: Armed and Dangerous!-
Fluorine is the most reactive element on the entire periodic scale. That is partially why it is used in rocket fuel and high octane gasolines. Best to hunt it with carbon, which makes it extremely stable.
-Known Accomplices and Hideouts-
Carbon in Teflon, fluoride, hydrofluoric acid, high octane gasoline, and rocket fuel.
Hydrofluoric Acid
This is one form of Fluorine. Others include high octane gasolines, fluoride (as in toothpaste), rocket fuel, and Teflon (used in pans as a non-stick agent).
Atomic Mass, Atomic Number, Name, and Symbol
This box contains much of what is known about fluorine, including its symbol, full name, atomic mass, and atomic number.
Bohr Model
This is a Bohr model of Fluorine. It shows the structure of a Fluorine atom. It also shows that there are 9 protons and 10 neutrons in one atom of Fluorine.
