Fluoride is added to publicly supplied drinking water for its prophylactic benefit in retarding or preventing toot decay, especially in growing children. That happens because tooth enamel acts as a semi- permeable membrane and allows the passage of fluoride ion necessary to impart decay resistance. It is much the same as prophylactic fluoride treatments that dentists provide to children during routine dental visits--only in much lower concentration.
Answer:
It is added to the water to reduce tooth decay.
Fluoride is not bad for you. It is considered by most public health experts to be one of the major advances in public health of the last century. Unfortunately, it has become politicized and the target of internet conspiracy theorists. What one must remember is that everything is toxic (even water and oxygen) at high enough levels. "The dose makes the poison" and so when reading the claims of people citing support to the claims of the evils of fluoride one must pay attention to make sure they are not citing industrial exposures, high dose supplements, etc etc.

elements..., but fluoride is a polyatomic ion.
Pure water does not contain fluoride, but much drinking water does contain fluoride that is deliberately added to reduce tooth decay of children who drink the water. Some drinking water supplies also contain fluoride naturally.
Yes, to form Potassium Fluoride + Chlorine because the chlorine isn't reactive enough to overpower fluoride and steal potassium off of him.. Cl2 + KF ---> KF + Cl2
All sorts of things are added to water, from whiskey to orange juice. If you mean added by the public water supply company, the common ones are chlorine to kill bacteria and fluoride to reduce tooth decay.

If you mean regular water, two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen. But, in city water treatment facilities, fluoride and a small amount of chlorine may be added in.
No, it has chlorine in it, and sometimes fluoride, as well.
Fluoride is added to drinking water to prevent tooth decay
In the U.S. - 1945. However, a lot of cities have naturally fluoridated water. In the U.S., there are a lot of news articles about adding fluoride to water. But for the rest of the world, too much fluoride in the water is a concern and there are lots of programs to remove it down to safe levels.
