By: Jeff Hatten and Meg Fausz
History and Properties
- Fluorine was discovered in 1886 by French chemist Henri Moissan (1852-1907). Moissan collected the gas by passing an electric current through one of its compounds, hydrogen fluoride
- Color- Pale yellow
- Texture- rough
- Smell- Pungent
- Uses- Rocket Fuel,Tooth Paste.
- Sodium fluoride (NaF)
- stannous(II) fluoride (SnF2)
- sodium monofluorophosphate (Na2PO3F)
Halogens
- Halogens are highly reactive, and they can be harmful or lethal
- All have 7 valence electrons
- Non-Metals
- Poor conductors of heat and electricity
- Can exist in all three classical states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas
