Yes, fluorine can corrode materials, particularly metals and certain nonmetals, due to its highly reactive nature. It readily forms compounds with most elements, leading to the degradation of metals and the deterioration of materials like glass and ceramics. Fluorine gas is especially aggressive, and it can cause rapid corrosion at room temperature, making it important to use compatible materials when handling it.

How do you store fluorine?

Fluorine is stored in Teflon (polytetrafluoroetheneor -ethylene) containers. This is due to two reasons:1. Nearly all containers will corrode with fluorine in it; even glass containers will corrode. But since the Teflon polymer already contains fluorine, the fluorine that is stored in it can't react with the container.2. The Teflon polymer is very non-reactive(giving it its "non-stick"characteristic) due to the strong bonds between the carbon and fluorine atoms, meaning it can withstand reactive and corrosive chemicals like fluorine.
