All non metals have a tendency to undergo chemical reactions in which they acquire electrons; the degree to which a given substance attracts electrons is officially known as electronegativity (you might think it would be called electropositivity, but electrons have a negative charge). Fluorine has the highest electronegativity of any element, with an electronegativity of 4; the next highest is oxygen, which is 3.5, significantly lower. As a result, fluorine is the most corrosive of all elements, and will react with some materials that nothing else will react with, for example, it is possible to create a chemical compound of platinum and fluorine, which is platinum hexafluoride; platinum does not react chemically with anything else. Fluorine is also considered to be the most dangerous substance to work with in a laboratory. It is extremely toxic, and because it is so corrosive, it tends to leak out of anything you are using to store it, and if it does, you will die.
