Fluorine was discovered by Karl Scheele in 1771, recognized as a halogen in 1825, and included in Mendeleev's Periodic Table of 1869. Fluorine is so active that it existed only in compounds and all efforts to isolate the element failed. Because of its high corrosiveness/toxticity, early fluorine chemists died from fluorine poisoning and the element was dubbed "Tiger of Chemistry." Fluorine, from Latin "fleure" meaning to flow, is the 13th most abundant element in the earth's crust and the most reactive of all elements--it even forms compounds with noble gases.
