Where can you get fluorine?
Fluoride(s) may be found in toothpaste and is even added in trace quantities to drinking water in certain parts of the world. Fluorine is extremely reactive and not found in n…ature. It may be found in chemical and nuclear plants. HF - but not fluorine - is even used to etch glass. Fluorine is so reactive it is produced by electrolysis. (MORE)

How can you get fluorine?
Fluorine is found in nature always in chemical compounds with elements like sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, aluminum, boron, carbon, iron, lithium, nickel, phosphorus, …silicon, strontium, and titanium. The only way to separate these compounds and to get pure florine is by electrolysis, which involves using large amounts of electricity and usually quite low temperatures. By the way, you don't want any pure fluorine because it is corrosive, explosive, and deadly. (MORE)

Why was the element Fluorine named Fluorine?
The name fluorine comes from the Latin verb fluere , meaning " to flow ." The material fluorspar was widely used in the 16th century as a flux, a chemical cleaning agent that… facilitates soldering, brazing, and welding by removing oxidation from the surface of metals to be joined. This was thought of as facilitating the flow of metals. Hence, when fluorine was identified as an important component of fluorspar, a name derived from the Latin word for "flow" was given to it.

Can fluorine rust?
No. Rusting is a term generally reserved for the oxidation of iron. Processes similar to rusting also involve the oxidation of metals. Fluorine is a nonmetal and the most e…lectronegative of all the elements. So fluorine can only be reduced, not oxidized. However, it is an extremely reactive gas and will react vigorously if not violently with most other elements. (MORE)
