It even is corrosive to glass!!
Hydrofluoric acid attacks glass by reaction with silicon dioxide to form gaseous or water-soluble silicon fluorides. This dissolution process proceeds as follows:
No, fluorine is not commonly used to etch glass. Hydrofluoric acid is typically used for glass etching due to its high reactivity with silica, the main component of glass. Fluorine gas is highly reactive and toxic, making it impractical and unsafe for glass etching applications.

Yes, hydrogen can slowly leak through glass over time, as it is a small and permeable molecule. Special glass materials or coatings may be used to reduce hydrogen permeation.
They are generally described by shape not mat'l.
Placing a candle under a glass container will cause the flame to consume the oxygen inside the container. As the oxygen is used up, the flame will eventually extinguish due to lack of oxygen, creating a vacuum inside the container.
Glass etching pastes or cremes contain fluoride. The most common are sodium fluoride and hydrogen fluoride. This does not 'etch' the glass, it causes fluoridation which looks like etching.
Hydrogen fluoride is commonly used in industrial applications, such as in the production of fluorocarbons and aluminum fluoride. It is also used in etching and cleaning processes in the semiconductor industry. Additionally, hydrogen fluoride can be used as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions.
It eats through glass, so you have to be careful how you store it.

it is a container made out of glass that you can put things inside
It is not recommended because by storing it in a glass, the pressure can't build up in the container and it will explode. A way to keep it from exploding is putting it in plastic (so the pressure can build up if it needs to) opaque (so the energy in the form of light doesn't get into the bottle) bottles.

A glass container is anything made of glass that is used to contain or store something. For instance, a jar or a bottle made of glass is a glass container.
The homograph for a glass container would be "jar." The word "jar" can mean both a glass container and to shake or rattle something.
The homograph for a glass container is "jar." This word can refer to both a glass container used for storing food or a mason jar used for canning.
The best is a glass container....
