No, fluoride and fluorine are not the same. Fluorine is a chemical element, represented by the symbol F on the Periodic Table. Fluoride, on the other hand, is an ion or compound that contains fluorine, often formed when fluorine reacts with another element.

What is a flouride?

Fluoride(not flouride)is the reduced form of fluorine. Both organic and inorganic compounds containing the element fluorine are considered fluorides. As a halogen, fluorine forms a monovalent ion (−1 charge). The range of fluorides is considerable as fluorine forms compounds with all elements except He and Ne[1][2]. Fluorides range from severe toxins such as sarin to life-saving pharmaceuticals such as efavirenz and from refractory materials such as calcium fluoride to highly reactive sulfur tetrafluoride
