Fluorine


Fluorine is a faintly colored greenish-yellow gas with a sharp odor; its inhalation is hazardous since it irritates mucous membranes and causes corrosion. It is stored under pressure in steel containers; it is a highly reactive element that ignites organic materials, particularly wood, fats, and textile materials.

Fluorine is used for the preparation of certain fluorides and fluorinated organic derivatives
