What is the formula for Ferrous fluorite?
Fluorite, as an ion, would be chemically similar to chlorite, which is ClO2, or bromite, which is BrO2. However, I am having trouble finding actual compounds with ions containing fluorine and 2 or more oxygen atoms. The -ide suffix is used for binary (2-element) compounds. There is also a mineral called fluorite. Its composition is CaF2. If ferrous fluorite exists its formula would be Fe(FO2)2. No such compound is listed in my CRC handbook, but it's an old edition. ------------------------------ FeF2 would be called iron (II) or ferrous fluoride (and not ferrous fluorite).
How was the element fluorine discovered?
There is no element 'flourine' - it's 'fluorine'. Fluorine was discovered by Henri Moissan in 1886 who perfected a process using electrolysis to produce fluorine from fluorite, a mineral discovered in 1530. Fluorite and fluorine are not the same.
