You can find fluorine in toothpaste and in some city water supplies, because fluorine strengthens teeth and helps prevent tooth decay. It does not affect the taste, scent, or appearance of water, however.
You can't find pure fluorine anywhere (well, other than from a specialty gas supplier), because it's too reactive to exist in nature. It reacts explosively with carbon and hydrocarbons, as the first person to try to make flurocarbons found out (he lost two labs that way).

∙ 16y agoNot as the element fluorine. being the most reactive of all the elements it is far far too reactive to exist as an element, reacting with things around it immediately. Howeve, it is found in several minerals combined with other elements, for example, Cryolite (sodium Aluminium Fluoride) and Fluorite (Calcium Fluoride).

What type of bond is formed when you combine fluorine and fluorine?
Fluorine seems a likely answer
Which is bigger fluorine or hydrogen?
Fluorine.
Is fluorine a reactive or stable element?
fluorine stable fluorine diatomic is unstable
Where would to expect to find an element with the greatest electronegativity?
upper right hand corner
Which has a greater electronegativity fluorine or francium?
Fluorine.
Where on the periodic table will you find the element fluorine?
Group 17, period 2
In what country is fluorine found?
You could probably find trace amounts everywhere.
What is the most non-metallic element?
We can find fluorine on the upper right hand corner of the periodic table (setting aside the inert or noble gases). Fluorine is 3.98 on the Pauling scale, and it's the most reactive and nonmetallic element.
What is the equation use to find the amount of electrons are in fluorine?
The atomic number of an element tells you how many electrons there are and how many protons there are.
What is is the most active nonmetal?
Fluorine
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.
How do you find the empirical formula of a compound of uranium and fluorine that is composed of 67.6 percent uranium and 32.4 percent fluorine?
This compound is UF6. Atomic weight of uranium: 238,02891 Atomic weight of fluorine: 18,9984032 Molecular mass of UF6: ca. 352,04121
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.
How fluorine reacts with cold water?
fluorine reacts with water veryviciously the chemical equation for it is fluorine + oxygen = fluorine oxide
How much fluorine in grams was formed when the mass ratio of sodium to fluorine in sodium fluoride is 1 to 21 to 1 A sample of sodium fluoride produced 27point7 grams of sodium upon decomposition?
How do you find the mass ratio. And how many grams fluorine is made at decomposition.
