Fluorine By; Emily Martinez && Kailea Lennon
Element Symbol; F • Element Name; Fluorine • Atomic number; 9 • Atomic Mass; 18.9984032 • Solid, liquid, or Gas?; Gas • Metal, Metalloid, or Nonmetal?; Nonmetal
Facts • Family Group Name; Halogen/ Group 17 • Discovered by; Karl Scheele • Discovered in; 1771 • Can be used in Toothpaste, to etch Glass, and to focus Lenses
Interesting Facts • When mixed with water, it reacts EXPLOSIVELY. • It must be handled with EXTREME care in a Laboratory. • Has a Strong Characteristic smell.
Physical Properties • Pale; Yellow • Liquid to Solid • Lightest element in Group Halogen/17 • occurs naturally in the earth's crust where it can be found in rocks, coal and clay
Chemical Properties • Gas to Liquid • Strong odor • Reacts at room Temperature • fluorine occurs as a diatomic molecule, F2 • Fluorides are released into the air in wind-blown soil.
How its used • Fluorine can also protect us from dental decay, if it is applied through toothpaste twice a day. If fluorine is absorbed too frequently, it can cause teeth decay. • Fluorine gas is released in the industries. This gas is very dangerous, as it can cause death at very high concentrations. At low concentrations it causes eye and nose irritations
