It was used in the atomic bond. It also can be very deadly when mixed with hydrogen.

What can absorb fluorine?

Materials such as calcium, alumina, and barium can absorb fluorine due to their ability to form strong chemical bonds with the fluorine atoms. Additionally, activated carbon and certain metals like iron and nickel can also absorb fluorine effectively.


Where do you get fluorine?

Elemental fluorine could be obtained from chemical supply companies. But because it is extremely dangerous you would probably need to provide proof that you are a professional chemist.


How many elements are in a fluorine atom?

Fluorine is an element, s an atom of fluorine contains only one element - fluorine. However, the fluorine molecule consists of two atoms of fluorine.


Why is phosgene the most dangerous gas?

Phosgene is certainly a dangerous gas, that was specifically designed to be poisonous to people, so that it could be used as a weapon of war, but it is not the most dangerous gas. Fluorine gas is more dangerous. But fluorine is so dangerous that it would not be practical to use it as a weapon (not that phosgene is a very practical weapon either; poison gas blows on the wind, and easily turns back toward the people who are using it). Anyone trying to use fluorine gas as a weapon would almost certainly wind up being killed by it. It is almost impossible to handle safely.


How is fluorine purified?

Fluorine (IPA: /ˈflʊərɪːn, -ɔːrɪːn/, from Latin fluere, meaning "to flow"), is the chemical element with the symbol F and atomic number 9. Atomic fluorine is univalent and is the most chemically reactive and electronegative of all the elements. In its elementally isolated (pure) form, fluorine is a poisonous, pale, yellow-green gas, with chemical formula F2. Like other halogens, molecular fluorine is highly dangerous; it causes severe chemical burns on contact with skin.Fluorine's relatively large electronegativity and small atomic radius give it interesting bonding characteristics, particularly in conjunction with carbon.

You need a special license to get something as dangerous as fluorine


Does fluorine have a crime?

No fluorine does not really have a crime except the fact that it is dangerous for humans.


How can fluorine be so dangerous in its elemental form but so useful in compounds?

It is still dangerous in some of its compounds. That said though, one of the reasons it is dangerous in its pure form is that it is so highly reactive. (Incidentally, fluorine exists in molecular form, F2, rather than elemental form, F.)

When combined with fluorine is krypton dangerous?

Krypton gas is non-reactive and inert when combined with fluorine, so it is not inherently dangerous. However, compounds formed by krypton and fluorine may have different properties and behaviors, so caution is still advised when handling any chemical compounds.


What components of chlorofluorocarbon affects the ozone layer most?

CFC's are ozone depleting substances. The chlorine and fluorine part are most dangerous.

How many atoms of fluorine in barium?

Fluorine is an element and barium is also an element. There is no fluorine in barium and not barium in fluorine.


Is fluorine toxic?

Fluorine's main danger to us is its corrosive nature, not its toxicity. You would likely die of the direct damage to your tissues before you needed to worry about its being absorbed. However, in large doses compounds of fluorine, i.e. fluorides, can be toxic, affecting bone structure amongst other things.
