2022: Atomic Symbol for Fluorine (& Cool facts: Sources, Color, Uses and more...)

Some atom symbols are easy to figure out, some are not...

The only sure thing is that every atom has a symbol. But what is the atom whose symbol is F?

The answer is Fluorine (F). However there is a lot of stuff about Fluorine that people don't know. Let me walk you through...

Fluorine Overview

Atomic Symbol

F (Fluorine)

Sources

Found in the minerals fluorite (CaF2) and cryolite(Na3AlF6). Electrolysis of hydrofluoric acid (HF) or potassium acid fluoride (KHF2) is the only practical method of commercial production.

Description

Greenish-yellow, pungent, corrosive gas. Extremely reactive. Does not occur uncombined in nature.

Name Origin

Latin: fluere (flow).

State at 20 °C

gas

Uses

Used in refrigerants and other fluorocarbons. Also in toothpaste as sodium fluoride (NaF) and stannous fluoride (SnF2); also in Teflon.

Discovery

Discovered By: Henri Moissan
Year: 1886
Location: France
