No way, jose--it's only THE most reactive element in the Periodic Table. It evens forms compounds with the "inert" gases, not to mention the "interhalogen" compounds like chlorine trifluoride (ClF3), which will react with almost anything--e.g., it sets concrete, asbestos and wet sand on FIRE. As one wag said, it is hypergolic (i.e., explodes on contact) with any known rocket fuel, as well as metal, wood and test engineers. If you want to read something funny, try organic chemist Derek Rowe's column, "Things I Won't Work With." It's a real howl.
