Fluorine Gas Formula
Fluorine Gas Formula
Fluorine Gas Formula has the chemical symbol F and the atomic number 9. At standard conditions, Fluorine Gas Formula is the lightest halogen gas and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas. Because it is a highly electronegative element, it reacts with almost every other element except argon, neon, and helium. Fluorine Gas Formula was discovered in 1810, and its name was derived from the primary mineral fluorite. Its various forms range in colour from dark to pale yellow. It has two allotropes, Alpha and Beta, as well as 11 isotopes and belongs to the group 17 halogens. Fluorine is extremely toxic to living organisms.
Fluorine Gas Properties
Fluorine is a chemical element that appears very pale yellow in gas form and bright yellow in liquid form. It is opaque in the solid form and known as alpha, and transparent in beta. It has a melting point of 219.67 °C (363.41 °F) and a boiling point of 188.11 °C (306.60 °F). Henri Moissan, a French chemist, isolated elemental fluorine using low-temperature electrolysis in 1886.

Fluorine Gas Uses
Fluorine Gas Formula is widely used in the production of UF6 for the nuclear fuel cycle. Fluorine is also utilised in the fluorination of uranium tetrafluoride. Approximately 6,000 metric tonnes of inert dielectric SF6 for high-voltage transformers and circuit breakers are produced each year. To prevent dental cavities, sodium fluoride, another fluorine compound, is used in toothpaste and drinking water. Because hydrofluoric acid dissolves glass, it is used to etch glass in light bulbs and other products. Fluorine is also used in the production of Teflon.
