Fluoride does not exist on its own as a substance. It is a negatively charged ion that needs to be accompanied by a positive ion. Substances containing this ion, call fluorides are not liquids, gasses, or metals but solid salts.

The element fluorine from which the fluoride ion is formed from is a gas.

iron 2 fluoride is a solid, yes at room temperature however, you realy should indict the tempeeture and pressure when asking if something is a solid gas or liquid. Water can be all three as we all know from experience.

Fluoride in and of itself is no a substance. It is an ion that is a part of a number of substances such as sodium fluoride, calcium fluoride, and tin II fluoride. Being ionic compounds they are solid at room temperature. Fluorine, the element from which the fluoride ion is derived, is a gas at room temperature.

Fluorine is a gas at room temperature. "Fluoride" is only part of a name, so it's hard to say, but when most people say "fluoride" they actually mean tin (II) fluoride, which is a solid at room temperature.

(Note: stannous fluoride is an old name for tin (II) fluoride, and is common in older literature.)

Fluoride is not any single substance, it is a negative ion that needs a positive ion to balance its charge. Most fluoride are solids though.
