Fluorine is reactive in ways one can't really imagine. It doesn't dissolve in water because it reacts with water.

Bubble some fluorine gas into water and two reactions will happen:

2F2 + 2H2O -> O2 + 4HF

3F2 + 3H2O -> O3 + 6HF

If you bubble flourine into an excess of water, you will be left with oxygen, ozone and hydrofluoric acid...so do this in a polyethylene container, which won't be attacked by that acid.

Is F2 soluble in water why or why not?

Yes, F2 (fluorine gas) is not soluble in water. This is because fluorine is a highly electronegative element with a very strong bond between its atoms, making it difficult for water molecules to break apart the F2 molecules and interact with them. Additionally, fluorine is a nonpolar molecule, and water is a polar solvent, further reducing the likelihood of solubility.
