Fluorine is reactive in ways one can't really imagine. It doesn't dissolve in water because it reacts with water.
Bubble some fluorine gas into water and two reactions will happen:
2F2 + 2H2O -> O2 + 4HF
3F2 + 3H2O -> O3 + 6HF
If you bubble flourine into an excess of water, you will be left with oxygen, ozone and hydrofluoric acid...so do this in a polyethylene container, which won't be attacked by that acid.
