Fluorine is extremely reactive. It will react with many substances at room temperature and can spontaneously set fire to organic material. It will react exothermically with substances normally used to extinguish fires such as water and carbon dioxide. When it reacts it can form toxic compounds such as hydrogen fluoride.
