Thorium and fluorine Thorium trifluoride - ThF3 Thorium tetrafluoride - ThF4
Some chemicals added to prevent tooth decay are: sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, stannous fluoride, sodium fluoride phosphate, etc.
I don't know, I suppose we have to ask a chemist.
fluoride chlorine
All radioactive materials are controlled by severe rules.
Common compounds of thorium: thorium dioxide, thorium trifluoride, thorium tetrafluoride, thorium tetrachloride, thorium triiodide, thorium diiodide, thorium tetraiodide, thorium nitrate, thorium oxalate, thorium carbide, thorium sulfides, thorium nitride, thorium oxinate, etc.
All tap water has purifying chemicals in it It varies in different countries some use chlorine some use fluoride.
There are many poisonous chemicals. Too many too count. A few of the worst are hydrogen cyanide, chlorine, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen fluoride.
fluoride in toothpaste, sodium hydroxide in soaps,sodium chloride in salt, are some
Hazards and Health Considerations: Thorium presents both a toxic and radiological hazard. Toxicologically, it causes heavy metal poisoning similar to lead or the uranium isotopes. Biologically, thorium accumulates in the skeletal system where it has a biological half-life of 200 years, the same as plutonium. An M 17 protective mask and standard anti-contamination clothing will adequately protect against thorium.
Thorium don't smell.
Applications of thorium Some thorium uses: - fertile material (as ThO2) in nuclear power reactors; is a precursor of the fissile isotope 233U. - thorium dioxide can be used as refractory material for crucibles, tubes, rods, etc. - thorium tetrafluoride (ThF4) is used as anti-reflection coating in optics. - gas mantles (as ThO2) - alloying metal for some aviation components (magnesium-thorium alloy); also for welding alloys wolfram-thorium - additive (as ThO2) in wolfram filaments - to stop crystalline growth of W and to increase time of use of light bulbs - catalyst in organic chemistry (as ThO2) - additive for special glass (as ThO2) - additive in filaments (as ThO2) of magnetron tubes - reagent in chemistry laboratories (as thorium nitrate) - etc.
